243 Himrod Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
243 Himrod Street is a 3-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Tom Rosenberg. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant problems occurring between 2022-2024. These include multiple instances of mold and pest (rodent) infestations, with open violations for rodent infestation in the cellar and cockroach issues in Apartment 1L as of 2021.
The building has also faced basic service disruptions, including heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, with emergency complaints about these issues continuing into 2024. Several interventions were required for ventilation problems in 2023-2024, though the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene had difficulty contacting tenants during at least one investigation. The property has an ongoing challenge with rat activity, as evidenced by multiple rodent inspections and bait applications between 2023-2025, with recent inspections in March 2025 confirming active rat presence.
Past complaints have also highlighted various sanitary conditions, including pest issues and mold problems, with many complaints being addressed but with recurring patterns. Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 included faulty fire egress features in Apartment 1L and defective plaster surfaces in Apartment 3R, though some violations have since been resolved. Notably, there was an environmental control board violation in 2020 regarding boiler safety concerns, though this was later resolved. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past five reporting periods, with no units reported as infested, eradicated, or re-infested.
