211 Himrod Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 211 Himrod Street in Bushwick, owned by Ben Gluck and constructed in 1931, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, particularly concerning moisture and sanitation. Most notably, there are ongoing concerns about mold, with the most recent complaint filed in March 2025 being unable to be fully investigated by HPD.
The building has faced intermittent heat and hot water problems, with emergency complaints reported in December 2024 and August 2024, though these issues appeared to be resolved promptly according to tenant reports during inspections. A significant cluster of complaints was documented in May 2023, including water leak issues (both slow leaks and damp spots), pest problems, and various other maintenance concerns, leading to the issuance of multiple violations. The building has also shown a history of rodent-related issues, with inspections in 2021-2022 indicating rat activity, though recent inspections from 2022 through 2025 have consistently passed, suggesting improved conditions.
The property underwent multiple inspections in 2023, including specific attention to violations in Apartment 1F, where issues with mold, water leaks, and pest infestation (specifically mice) were documented. While the building's management has generally addressed violations as evidenced by certifications of correction, there remains an open violation related to mice infestation in Apartment 1F as of 2023. Recent bedbug reports for the filing period 2023-2024 indicate a single unit treatment, though prior years showed no reported infestations.
