218 Himrod Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The 6-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building at 218 Himrod Street in Bushwick, owned by Dormih Tower LLC and constructed in 1931, has experienced numerous maintenance and habitability issues in recent years, with particular concerns emerging in 2022-2025. Most pressingly, there is an open A-class violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, with previous violations for this issue dating back to February 2022. The building has had recurring sanitation problems, with multiple rodent activity inspections showing consistent rat presence as recently as February 2025, and evidence of sewage odor complaints in September 2024.
The building's maintenance history reveals several concerning patterns, including heat and hot water issues (with a building-wide complaint in January 2024), unsanitary conditions involving pests (March 2023), mold problems (December 2022), and various plumbing issues. Notably, December 2022 inspections resulted in violations for mold and paint/plaster problems, particularly in the bathroom of Apartment 1R, where there are also violations related to smoke and carbon monoxide detector deficiencies. Multiple complaints regarding garbage/recycling storage (July 2023) and ventilation systems (December 2022) further underscore ongoing maintenance challenges.
The property has shown some responsiveness to inspections and violations, with certain issues being addressed or closed through appropriate procedures, such as bait application for rodent control in mid-2024. However, there remain significant open violations as of 2025, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements. The building's inspection history also includes periodic checks for various maintenance issues, with some inspections not resulting in violations, though access problems have occurred in multiple instances (e.g., heat/hot water complaints and pest investigations). The relatively high number of rat activity reports and the persistence of certain open violations suggest ongoing difficulties with building maintenance and pest control.
