99 Himrod Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

99 Himrod Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Bushwick, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Cheskel Jacobowitz. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns being recurring problems with mold and rodent activity. Most recently in June 2025, there was a documented case of mold that resulted in HPD violations, following a pattern of similar issues in January 2024.

The property has also faced persistent rodent problems, with multiple rat sightings reported between 2024 and 2025, and several inspections confirming rat activity despite bait applications. The building's maintenance history shows a cluster of violations in early 2024, particularly affecting apartment 3R, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, door mechanisms, and water leaks, though many of these violations have since been closed. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting record, with all recent filings (2022-2025) showing zero infested units, indicating effective management of this particular pest issue.

Regular inspections and compliance checks have been conducted for both rodent activity and bedbug management, with the most recent bedbug report for 2025 showing no current infestations. While some historical violations were noted regarding bedbug reporting requirements in 2022 and 2023, the current records show proper compliance with reporting obligations. The building's age and location in a dense urban area contribute to its ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding moisture control and pest management, though recent inspections indicate some improvements in overall compliance with housing maintenance codes.
