91 Himrod Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, six-unit apartment building at 91 Himrod Street in Bushwick, owned by Linda Vera and built in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance and habitability issues over the past few years. Most notably, in February 2024, there was a heat and hot water emergency complaint affecting the entire building, which HPD could not verify due to lack of access to apartments.

The building's rodent inspection history shows some concerning patterns, with rat activity documented in October 2023 and March 2025, though it passed inspections in between those dates, including an April 2025 compliance inspection. The property has maintained an exemplary record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in six consecutive annual bedbug reports from 2019 through 2025. Looking at the building's violations and complaints, the most recent significant event was the heat/hot water issue in February 2024.

Prior to that, in April 2021, there was a violation related to the failure to file the annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been rectified as evidenced by subsequent successful filings. The building's overall maintenance record shows regular rodent inspections, with the majority passing successfully, indicating periodic rather than chronic pest issues. The property has not been subjected to any major systemic violations or patterns of emergency incidents, but the recent heat/hot water complaint and rat activity in 2023 and 2025 suggest ongoing maintenance oversight may be necessary.
