213 Himrod Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

213 Himrod Street is a 6-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building located in Bushwick, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Ben Gluck. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over the past decade, with the most significant being a pest infestation in April 2021 (Apartment 1F), which resulted in violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

Prior to that, there was a heat/hot water emergency complaint in July 2018, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions. The building's maintenance history shows multiple violations related to safety and maintenance protocols, including requirements for posting gas leak procedures (2021), heating system access notifications (2014), and the legalization of a bathroom ceiling alteration in Apartment 2L (2003), though all these violations were subsequently closed. More recent records indicate improved conditions, with the building undergoing successful rodent inspections throughout 2019-2025, with the most recent being passed in June 2025.

Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations for the past four years (2021-2024), with no reported cases of infested, eradicated, or reinfested units. The Department of Buildings had two complaints in 2021-2022 regarding plumbing issues and a tenant safety inspection, with the plumbing inspection showing inability to gain access during the final attempt in 2022. A permit was issued in July 2020 for some form of alteration or maintenance work, though specific details of the work were not provided in the data.
