205 Himrod Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

205 Himrod Street is a 3-story, 7-unit residential building located in Bushwick, owned by Theresa Mendolia and constructed in 2001. The property has experienced recurring rodent issues over the past few years, with multiple inspections between 2022 and 2025 showing rat activity, though recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed with no violations. The building has also faced several significant safety compliance issues.

In September 2018, multiple violations were recorded in apartment 19, including problems with sprinkler covers, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors, while apartment 15 had similar alarm system issues, along with violations related to door security and self-closing mechanisms. More recently, an open violation as of April 2024 involves the failure to file an annual bedbug report, and a June 2024 boiler complaint was investigated with no violations found. On a positive note, the property has maintained regular bedbug reporting requirements in 2022, showing no infestations during the specified periods.

The building's recent history shows some improvements, with rodent violations appearing to be less frequent and more recent inspections generally passing. However, the open bedbug reporting violation from 2024 and the historical pattern of safety violations in 2018 suggest that ongoing maintenance and compliance adherence should continue to be monitored. The presence of rat activity notifications from 2022 through 2023 indicates that while recent inspections have passed, the building has had historical challenges with pest management that required multiple compliance checks.
