401 Himrod Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
401 Himrod Street is a 6-unit, 3-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Clarita Argyros in the Bushwick neighborhood. The building has faced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, with the most recent being multiple health department violations in late 2024 related to smoking or vaping in prohibited areas. There have been consistent problems with interior maintenance, including several non-emergency complaints in 2024 regarding paint and plaster issues in apartments.
More concerning are the building's historical issues with unsanitary conditions, particularly in October 2018 when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding mold, pests, and sewage problems. The building has shown ongoing concerns with compliance and maintenance, including an active Environmental Control Board violation from 2018 for unpermitted electrical work involving a dumbwaiter, and two active DOB violations from 2024 related to failure to file inspection reports. Though recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passed, previous years showed some rat activity with notable failures in 2022 and 2020.
The property has also had recurring issues with bedbug reporting requirements; while the most recent 2024 filing shows zero infested units, there have been multiple instances requiring attention in previous years. The building's inspection history reveals persistent access issues for inspectors, particularly regarding complaints about illegal hotel rooms and work without permits in 2024, with inspectors unable to gain access during second final attempts. There have been multiple violations and complaints related to unsafe electrical wiring, various plumbing issues, and compliance matters, with the majority of these cases eventually being resolved, though some violations remain active. The building's age and history suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, though recent inspections indicate some improvements in certain areas, such as passing rodent inspections and no recent bedbug infestations.
