216 Himrod Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

216 Himrod Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 under the Old Law Tenement classification and currently owned by Judy Lin. The building has experienced several significant events over the past few years, most notably regarding pest control and rodent inspections.

While the property has maintained an excellent record for bedbug management, with zero reported infestations or eradications in the past five reporting periods from 2020 through 2024, the rodent situation has been more variable. Between 2022 and 2024, there were multiple inspections showing rat activity, including in March 2022 and August 2022, though subsequent inspections in 2023 and 2024 resulted in "Passed" ratings. The only Department of Buildings complaint on record was filed in August 2021 regarding an alleged illegal conversion, which was investigated in October 2021 with no violations found.

Of particular note is the building's recent track record, showing improvement in rodent control with consistent "Passed" results in 2023-2024, and an unblemished bedbug report history since 2020. With the most recent building records available up to October 2023, the property appears to have stabilized its pest management practices, though the initial years of the reporting period showed some challenges with rodent presence. The building's density (6 units in 3 stories) is typical for its classification, and it has maintained compliance with regular inspections mandated for New York City tenements.
