Augrented Insights Report for 288 Himrod Street

The 6-unit, 3-story building at 288 Himrod Street in Bushwick, owned by Boruch Reiss and constructed in 1931, has experienced persistent maintenance and sanitation challenges over recent years. The property has an ongoing rodent infestation issue, with multiple recent inspections in 2025 confirming rat activity, and previous sightings documented throughout 2024.

There were also significant concerns about building sanitation, with multiple Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) violations related to garbage storage and pest control. The building has had recurrent heating and hot water problems, with multiple emergency complaints filed between February and November 2023, though most were resolved after inspections confirmed restoration of services. The building's historical records reveal several regulatory compliance issues, including violations related to building occupancy without a valid Certificate of Occupancy, failure to maintain proper fire safety measures, and construction work conducted without proper permits.

In 2019, there were multiple violations regarding safety notices and construction documentation during renovation work, resulting in fines. The property has been subject to regular rodent inspections, with most recent results showing continued rat activity as of mid-2025. While the building has no reported bedbug infestations in the past two years (2023-2025), the ongoing maintenance issues, particularly regarding sanitation and rodent control, suggest persistent challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort.
