110 Himrod Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

110 Himrod Street is a two-family residence located in Bushwick, built in 1920 and currently owned by Jan Simko. The property has experienced several significant issues over the past few years, most notably in 2019 when it faced multiple serious violations including unauthorized electrical work throughout the premises, with exposed wires in walls and ceilings, for which the owner was fined $1,250. During this time, there were also building stability concerns noted, resulting in a full vacate order being served on November 26, 2019.

The building's maintenance history shows recurring rodent-related challenges, with the most recent initial inspection in August 2024 revealing rat activity, though subsequent inspections in September 2024 and February 2025 passed without issues. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene received two complaints in July 2021 regarding standing water and rodent signs, with the standing water complaint resulting in an inspection that found no violations. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections since 2021, with most results showing compliance, though the presence of rats in August 2024 stands out as a notable exception.

Several permits for work at the property have been issued, including an electrical work permit in February 2020 and a permit for alterations in April 2019, suggesting some efforts to address the previously noted violations. A Housing Maintenance Code violation was recorded in January 2019 regarding accessible openings requiring temporary sealing, though this was subsequently certified as corrected in February 2019. The building has had a relatively stable history since 2019, with no recent major violations reported, though the recurring rodent issues indicate an ongoing maintenance challenge.
