Augrented Insights Report for 279 Himrod Street

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 279 Himrod Street in Bushwick, built in 1931, has had several notable incidents in recent years.

Most concerning are the violations received in June 2023 related to an unsafe sidewalk shed, with the Department of Buildings issuing a total of $35,250 in fines across three violations for inadequate lighting, missing parapet panel information, and lack of proper electrical permits. A water leak complaint was filed in April 2022, which took nearly a year to close in April 2023, though no violations were issued following an HPD inspection.

On a positive note, the building has demonstrated consistent pest management success, with no documented bedbug infestations reported in the past five years (2019-2024), and regular rodent inspections have been passed in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, indicating effective management of vermin control. The sidewalk shed violations remain the most significant current concern, with active penalties still outstanding as of the last available data in October 2023.
