207 Himrod Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

207 Himrod Street is a 3-story, 7-unit Class A residential building located in Bushwick, owned by Theresa Mendolia and constructed in 2001. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly affecting the entire building during late 2022 and early 2023, with multiple HPD complaints resulting in violations.

Apartment 24 has been a frequent focus of maintenance concerns, with violations documented for inadequate heat and hot water supply, broken window mechanisms, and lighting issues between late 2022 and early 2023, though these were subsequently addressed and certified. The building's common areas and systems have also faced scrutiny, with violations recorded for lighting at the building entrance and access issues to the heating system in the basement. Recent developments include an open Bedbug Reporting violation as of April 2024 related to annual reporting requirements, while prior reports from 2022 showed no documented infestations.

The property has demonstrated ongoing challenges with rodent control, with the most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 showing "Rat Activity," following similar findings in December 2023. Compliance inspections from 2024 generally passed, though earlier inspections in 2022-2023 repeatedly indicated rat activity. While many previous maintenance issues have been resolved and closed, the building's history suggests persistent challenges with building systems and pest management, with particular attention needed to the recent rodent activity pattern.
