1720 Harman Street, Queens, NY 11385
1720 Harman Street is a 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by 1720 Herman Realty LLC. The property has experienced persistent maintenance issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints regarding water leaks, damp spots, and sanitary conditions. Most notably, there are currently two open water-related complaints from May 2025 - a slow leak and ongoing dampness - which follow a pattern of similar issues documented throughout the year, including problems with paint/plaster, plumbing fixtures, and mold.
The building has also faced rodent infestations, with recent inspections in July 2025 showing rat activity, though previous inspections in 2024 had passed. A series of violations were documented during a 2024 inspection, including plumbing issues in apartment 1R, problems with the building entrance door lock, and water-related concerns in apartment 2L. The property's record shows multiple instances of access issues during inspections, particularly in 2025, suggesting potential challenges with allowing necessary repairs.
The building's historical record includes several complaints about garbage storage and sanitary conditions, though recent bedbug reports from 2021-2024 show no infestations. Multiple Department of Buildings complaints from 2020 regarding work without permits and an illegal conversion were closed due to access issues, though one ECB violation for unauthorized work in the cellar was resolved. The property has received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly related to water leaks and maintenance issues, with some requiring corrections by specific deadlines. While several permits have been issued for work at the property between 2013-2019, recent years have shown more focus on addressing existing maintenance issues rather than new construction or improvements.
