248 Himrod Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
248 Himrod Street in Bushwick is a 3-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Deodat Lowtan. The property has experienced recurring heating system issues, with the most recent complaint from October 2024 regarding heating and hot water in an apartment unit that remains open as of October 2025.
The building also faces ongoing maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple recent violations, including requirements for carbon monoxide detector installation and smoke detector notice postings in Apartment 1L, and issues with a self-closing door in the first-story vestibule. The building's heating system access has been a persistent problem, with multiple Department of Buildings inspection failures due to lack of access in 2023 and 2024, resulting in ECB violations and fines. The property has undergone several inspections and treatments for rodent issues, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing compliance, though there were multiple instances of rat activity and bait application between 2023-2024.
Building systems and safety equipment require attention, as indicated by the October 2024 violations regarding missing carbon monoxide detector(s) and smoke detector notice requirements in Apartment 1L. Historical records show a pattern of heat-related complaints, including a building-wide heating issue in March 2022, though some heating problems have been addressed based on tenant reports. The building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in its annual filings since 2020, demonstrating good pest management in this regard.
