268 Himrod Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

268 Himrod Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Fishel Wislicki. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2023, with multiple emergency complaints filed between September 30 and October 1, 2023, though these complaints were subsequently closed following HPD intervention. In addition to these thermal system problems, there was a door-related issue reported in February 2023 that required emergency attention and was resolved by February 2024.

The building has shown regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations between 2019 and 2025, although violations were noted in 2022 and 2024 related to the filing of annual bedbug reports. Recent inspections from 2024-2025 indicate ongoing rodent activity, with the most recent reports from June 2025 showing evidence of rat presence, though there were periods of compliance and passing inspections in earlier years, including several consecutive successful inspections between 2021-2023. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of urgent repairs and systemic issues, with heat and hot water complaints being particularly frequent in late 2023.

While the property has maintained a record of no bedbug infestations since 2019, the recent rodent activity findings suggest continuing challenges with vermin control. It's worth noting that all recent HPD complaints regarding heat and hot water issues have been closed, indicating temporary resolution of those specific problems, though whether these issues have been permanently resolved is not confirmed in the data. The building's age and classification as an "OLD LAW TENEMENT" suggest it is subject to specific housing maintenance regulations that require ongoing compliance, particularly regarding building systems and pest management.
