405 Himrod Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

405 Himrod Street is a three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Jasi Navarro. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, with the most recent complaint filed in February 2024 remaining unresolved due to inspection access limitations. There is an active violation from 2023 for failure to file mandatory external low-pressure inspections for 2019 and 2020, and persistent rodent issues, with the most recent compliance inspection in 2025 confirming rat activity.

Between 2022 and 2024, multiple rodent baiting efforts were conducted, suggesting ongoing pest management challenges. The building underwent significant construction work between 2019 and 2021, leading to several Department of Buildings complaints and violations. These included accusations of work without proper permits in late 2019 and early 2020, though inspections at those times found no violations.

Violations were later issued in 2021 for unpermitted construction of a wooden fence, with an associated $500 penalty, which remains active. The property has displayed recurring maintenance issues, including unsanitary conditions related to garbage storage in 2019 and various building system problems. While there have been bedbug reports filed between 2021 and 2023, these indicated no infested units or successful eradication efforts, though earlier violations existed regarding reporting compliance. The building's overall maintenance history shows a pattern of access issues during inspections and recurring problems with both basic services and pest management, suggesting ongoing challenges with building upkeep and tenant comforts.
