Augrented Insights Report for 260 Himrod Street

The 6-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building at 260 Himrod Street in Bushwick, owned by John Karamouzos and constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, the building has faced recurring heat and water supply problems, with multiple complaints about heating systems (March 2025) and water leaks (October 2024, March 2024).

An August 2024 inspection revealed multiple violations in Apartment 2L, including water leaks affecting both the bathroom and kitchen ceilings, mold growth, defective smoke detectors, caulking issues, and problems with plastered surfaces, though these violations were certified as corrected by October 2024. The building's history reveals concerning patterns of potential illegal occupancy issues, including violations for having three or more additional dwelling units beyond what is legally permitted, and safety concerns related to inadequate egress, lack of required sprinkler systems, and missing fire alarms for transient use on the first and second floors, resulting in significant fines totaling $60,000 in 2023.

Recent rodent activity has been noted in multiple inspections throughout 2024-2025, with some initial inspections showing rat activity despite subsequent compliance passes, suggesting ongoing pest management challenges. The building has generally maintained a good record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the last several years. Most recently, there is an active violation from September 2024 regarding the failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, indicating potential maintenance oversight.
