285 Himrod Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The 3-story, 6-unit tenement building at 285 Himrod Street in Bushwick, owned by Joel Rubin, has experienced several notable issues over the past two years. Most recently, in March 2024, there was a heat and hot water emergency that was resolved within two days, marking the building's fifth such incident since 2023.
The building has faced ongoing pest control challenges, with multiple emergency complaints regarding unsanitary conditions caused by pests in June and August 2023, though no violations were found upon inspection. Bedbug infestations have been recorded in three of the past four annual reports between 2021-2024, with the most recent report for 2022-2023 showing zero infested units.
The property has undergone several inspections and corrections regarding safety equipment requirements in 2023, including the posting of carbon monoxide and smoke detector requirements, proper display of inspection certificates, and building registration information, all of which were certified as corrected by August 2023. Rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with rat activity noted in early 2022 and January 2023, though more recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 resulted in passing grades. The building's history indicates ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and pest management, though recent improvements in compliance with safety regulations have been observed.
