1722 Harman Street, Queens, NY 11385

1722 Harman Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Sergio Vasquez. The most significant recent issue is an active Department of Buildings violation as of June 2023 regarding failure to file the 2021 external low-pressure inspection. In July 2020, the building experienced multiple maintenance issues, including electrical problems (with violations issued for an unsecured outlet in apartment 2L), pest infestations (notably roaches in apartment 2L), and mold concerns in the bathroom of the same unit.

These issues resulted in several Housing Maintenance Code violations, though most were certified as corrected by August 2020. The building has consistently maintained good records in terms of pest management and building inspections since 2019, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2020-2025) and passing rodent inspections in 2024, 2017, 2016, 2014, 2013, and 2009. While there were various maintenance complaints filed through 311 in July 2020, including issues with walls, floors, cabinets, and water leaks, most of these were resolved without violations being issued.

The building's bedbug reporting from 2019 through 2024 shows zero infested or eradicated units, indicating a successful pest management program. The most recent rodent inspection in September 2024 passed, continuing the building's good track record in this area. The current situation shows no active complaints or violations related to bedbugs, pests, or rodent issues, though the outstanding violation regarding the 2021 external low-pressure inspection should be noted. The building's maintenance record shows periods of concentrated issues in 2020, particularly in apartment 2L, but most of these were addressed within a reasonable timeframe, and subsequent years have had minimal reported issues in these areas.
