101 Himrod Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

101 Himrod Street is a three-story, six-unit residential building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Jan Simko. The property has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there was a building-wide heat and hot water complaint in April 2019, which was classified as an emergency but could not be fully investigated due to lack of access to the units.

The building has been subject to multiple rodent-related issues throughout 2023-2025, with recent inspections in April 2025 indicating rat activity. Between October 2023 and June 2025, there were several instances of bait being applied in response to rodent activity, suggesting an ongoing pest control effort. The building's maintenance history also shows some compliance concerns, including a Housing Maintenance Code violation in April 2021 related to the filing of annual bedbug reports, though subsequent filings from 2021 through 2024 indicate no bedbug infestations had been recorded.

The property has maintained regular reporting of bedbug activity, showing no units were infested, eradicated, or re-infested during these reporting periods. While the bedbug situation appears to have been effectively managed, the recurring rodent activity noted in multiple inspections over the past year and a half represents a significant ongoing maintenance challenge. The combined history of heating system complaints, pest control issues, and the one documented violation regarding bedbug reporting requirements suggest that while some issues have been resolved, the building continues to face periodic maintenance challenges that impact resident comfort.
