272 Himrod Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
272 Himrod Street is a 6-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Steven Kashanian. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, particularly in April 2022, when multiple complaints were filed and required HPD intervention. More recent concerns include unaddressed ventilation system and cooking gas complaints from January 2025, which HPD inspectors were unable to access during their investigations.
The building has documented rodent activity through multiple inspections between 2023 and 2025, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 confirming rat activity. The property has faced various maintenance challenges over the years, including electrical wiring issues in 2023, and a documented gas supply problem in Apartment 1L from March 2022. A significant cluster of violations emerged in 2019-2020 regarding unpermitted work, including construction in the backyard area and issues with fence height.
The Department of Buildings records from 2023 indicate multiple violations related to failed external low pressure inspections from 2018-2021, though these violations were not present in the records through October 2023. While no bedbug infestations have been reported in the past five years, the building's maintenance history shows ongoing challenges with basic services, particularly during seasonal transitions. The most recent inspection data also shows consistent rat activity, suggesting persistent pest management challenges.
