87 Himrod Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

87 Himrod Street is a 6-unit, 3-story residential building located in Bushwick, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Linda Vera. The building has a mixed record of maintenance and compliance issues over the past several years. Most recently, in 2025, there was one rodent activity complaint noted in March, following a pattern of rodent inspections showing both passed and failed results between 2022 and 2025, indicating an ongoing pest management challenge.

The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status since 2020, with all annual reports showing zero infested or eradicated units. The property has experienced several significant maintenance events, including a noteworthy violation in 2022 related to boiler safety that resulted in a $625 penalty regarding the backflow preventor and sewage cleanup issues. Historical violations of concern include multiple instances (1998, 2004, and 2021) regarding access to the heating system, though these were subsequently closed.

An emergency heat and hot water complaint from November 2018, which affected the entire building, was investigated by HPD but resulted in no violations being issued. More recently, in 2023, there were two compliance inspections showing rat activity, suggesting an area requiring ongoing attention. The building's management has demonstrated some responsiveness to violations, as evidenced by the certification of previously issued violations in 2024, though the presence of multiple rodent activity reports suggests this remains an active maintenance challenge.
