239 Himrod Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
239 Himrod Street is a 3-story, 5-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Johnny Aponte. The building has experienced several significant structural and maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a serious incident in October 2022 when approximately 4'x25' of the brick facade collapsed from the second floor, creating significant hazards for both occupants and pedestrians.
This incident resulted in multiple violation notices, including two Environmental Control Board violations in late 2022 totaling $5,000 in penalties, though records indicate these were subsequently resolved. The building was placed under structural monitoring after this incident, with an inspection in August 2024 showing some compliance progress. In addition to the facade collapse, the building has faced recurring maintenance challenges, including multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2021 and 2022, though more recent bedbug reports from 2022-2025 show no confirmed infestations.
The property has undergone several rodent inspections, with the most recent in March 2025 passing, following a series of failed and violated inspections in 2022 that indicated rodent activity. The building's violation history also includes some administrative infractions, such as work without permits and general failure to maintain building codes, though many of these violations have been dismissed or resolved. The most recent complaints and inspections suggest improved compliance with building codes and maintenance requirements, particularly regarding structural safety and pest control measures, with no recent violations or infestations reported.
