281 Himrod Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 281 Himrod Street in Bushwick, owned by Cliserio Quiroz, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, particularly related to plumbing and safety systems. Most notably, there are currently three open violations from 2022-2023 that remain unresolved: a requirement to file annual bedbug reports, and a broken bathtub issue in Apartment 1R.

The building has a history of persistent plumbing problems, with multiple complaints recorded between 2021-2022 regarding bathtubs/showers and toilet issues, resulting in violations. There were also several door and window-related complaints, with violations issued in 2021 for door and window frame issues. The most significant safety concerns emerged during inspections in 2022, with multiple violations documented in Apartment 1R including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, issues with various windows and security systems, and requirements for painting walls and ceilings with light-colored paint.

While rodent activity was noted in 2024, inspections have otherwise generally passed. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with both basic infrastructure systems and safety compliance, particularly in Apartment 1R, though many historical violations have been resolved. The most recent rodent inspection in January 2025 passed, indicating some improvement in pest control measures.
