229 Himrod Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 229 Himrod Street in Bushwick, owned by Carlo Costanza and constructed in 1931, has experienced several notable issues over recent years. Most significantly, there were two Indoor Air Quality complaints regarding chemical vapors, gases, and odors in April and May 2019, which prompted Department of Health and Mental Hygiene involvement.
The building received a violation notice in April 2021 related to the annual bedbug report filing requirement, though subsequent records from 2021 through late 2024 consistently showed zero documented bedbug infestations or related issues. Recent inspections have revealed a pattern of rodent activity concerns, with the most recent inspections in 2023-2025 showing alternating results.
While the building passed rodent inspections in March 2024 and October 2024, there were instances of rat activity recorded in September 2023 and September 2024 inspections. This pattern suggests ongoing pest management challenges, though the compliance inspections indicate some level of responsiveness to these issues. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since the 2021 violation, with all subsequent filings from 2021 through 2024 showing no infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.
