46 Himrod Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-unit residential building at 46 Himrod Street in Bushwick, owned by Joseph Fredericks, is a three-story Old Law Tenement constructed in 1920. The property has consistently demonstrated compliance with rodent control measures, passing nine consecutive inspections from August 2021 through February 2025, with no recorded rat activity in the most recent inspections.

However, the building has recurring non-compliance issues regarding the annual bedbug reporting requirement, with four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations issued between 2021 and 2024, all remaining open as of the current date. These violations indicate the owner's failure to file the required annual bedbug report as mandated by HPD regulations, representing the building's most significant ongoing compliance concern.

The building experienced a notable rodent control breakthrough in 2022, with initial inspections in August and February revealing rat activity, though subsequent compliance inspections in March 2022 and beyond have consistently passed, suggesting effective remediation of this issue. Many housing code violations from 2021 and 2022 have been addressed, with only the bedbug reporting violations persisting into 2025. While the property has generally maintained basic health and safety standards, the pattern of bedbug report violation persists as its most significant regulatory compliance issue.
