353 Himrod Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

353 Himrod Street is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 in Bushwick, currently owned by Miriam Yavo. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing being multiple heat and hot water complaints in December 2024 that affected the entire building. More recent concerns include a March 2025 complaint regarding hazardous indoor air quality involving human feces, which received immediate attention from the Department of Health.

The building has also faced various plumbing issues, including multiple violations related to fixtures such as sinks, toilets, and bathtubs/showers, though inspections did not result in any housing code violations being issued. The building's safety systems have required attention, with December 2024 violations noted for defective carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors in apartments 1L and 4L. Rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with some passing inspection in 2025 and 2024, though there were instances of rat activity and the need for bait application in 2022-2023.

The property appears to maintain a routine of bedbug monitoring, having reported no infestations in the past several years. While there was an illegal conversion complaint filed in March 2025, the subsequent inspection found no violations. The building's owner has responded to various maintenance issues as they arise, with inspections generally resulting in no violations being issued, though there is an active DOB violation related to a low-pressure inspection that remains unresolved as of April 2023.
