252 Himrod Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The 3-story, 5-unit tenement building at 252 Himrod Street in Bushwick, owned by Sam Wurzberger, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past three years. Most notably, there was a heat/hot water emergency in December 2024, which was addressed by HPD within two days.
The building has shown concerning patterns of rodent activity throughout 2024-2025, with multiple inspections confirming rat presence, though some inspections resulted in passing grades. Bait was applied during several inspections in late 2023, indicating active management of the rodent problem.
While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past five reporting periods from 2019-2024, it did receive a violation notice in February 2022 related to the filing of its annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been resolved. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections and treatment in an apparent effort to manage the pest issue, particularly in late 2023 when multiple bait applications were required. Despite these challenges, the building's most recent structural and safety records suggest ongoing management is addressing these persistent concerns, with no recent major violations or emergency incidents beyond the December 2024 heating issue.
