379 Himrod Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

379 Himrod Street is a 3-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Justin Ahiyon. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, particularly in 2021-2022, with multiple complaints regarding water leaks, mold, and unsanitary conditions including pest infestations. Specifically, there were several documented instances of heavy water leaks in both 2021 and 2022 that required emergency attention, though HPD was often unable to gain access to inspect these issues.

Additionally, there were violations issued in 2021 related to safety equipment including smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though no violations were found during the subsequent inspection. The building has significant ongoing maintenance concerns, particularly affecting the third-floor apartment (Apartment 3), where multiple open violations from 2021 remain unresolved. These include issues with plaster surfaces, paint condition, roof leaks, broken tiles, and an apparent pest infestation (specifically roaches).

The property has maintained a proactive approach to bedbug management, with regular reporting showing zero infested units from 2019 through 2025. Recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed, though there were two failed inspections recorded in 2015 and 2020. The most recent building inspection records (2025) indicate no current bedbug or rodent issues, though the outstanding violations from 2021 regarding Apartment 3 and other building systems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
