264 Himrod Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

264 Himrod Street is a 6-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building in Bushwick, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Bernard Schwimmer. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most significant recent problems occurring in March 2025, including multiple water leak complaints (both slow and heavy), unsanitary mold conditions, door issues, and plumbing concerns - all of which remained unresolved due to inspectors being unable to gain access.

Earlier in 2023, the building faced significant pest control challenges, with multiple complaints regarding roaches and mice infestation in apartments 1L and 2R, along with reported issues in July 2023 about mold and garbage storage problems. Housing Maintenance Code violations from May-July 2023 documented various issues including a defective self-closing door in 2R, an infestation of roaches and mice in both 1L and 2R, and the need for repairs to plastered surfaces in 2L, as well as water leak concerns. The property has been subject to multiple rodent activity inspections between 2023-2025, with the most recent findings in May 2025 indicating ongoing rat presence.

Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations in recent years, with all reports since 2020 showing zero infested units. While some violations have been certified as corrected, the pattern of recent water-related issues and recurring pest problems suggests persistent maintenance challenges. The building's inspection history shows a mix of compliance and violations, particularly regarding water supply and pest control.
