482 Harman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 482 Harman Street in Bushwick, owned by Agim Capric, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems. The most recent complaint was filed in April 2023 concerning heating issues, which was inspected but resulted in no violations. In late 2022, there was a cluster of complaints related to electrical wiring, doors, and windows, most of which were closed with no violations issued, though some inspections were unable to gain access to the affected areas.

The building has also faced some serious maintenance matters, including multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2022 related to apartment 1L, such as defective smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, self-closing doors, broken floor materials, and issues with the bathroom ceiling plaster. Currently, there are two active violations as of June 2023 regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2019 and 2020. However, there are some positive indicators regarding building conditions.

The property has maintained a clean bedbug record over the past five reporting periods (2020-2025), with zero infested units reported in the most recent filing for 2023-2024. Recent rodent inspections (2022-2025) have also shown consistently passing results. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues, many complaints have been resolved without violations being issued, and recent inspections suggest improvements in building conditions. The most pressing current concerns appear to be the two active violations related to pressure inspection filings from 2019 and 2020, and a cluster of violations from 2022 primarily focused on apartment 1L that required various repairs and replacements, though many of these have been addressed through subsequent certifications.
