372 Himrod Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 3-story, 3-unit brick tenement building at 372 Himrod Street in Bushwick, owned by George Gonzalez, has a notable history of pest management challenges over recent years, particularly concerning bedbugs and rodent activity. Most recently, the building's 2025 bedbug report, filed in July 2025, indicated no current infestations, infestations in the past year, or reports of re-infestation, representing a compliance improvement from previous years.

However, the property has experienced consistent bedbug reporting violations from 2021 to 2024, receiving Notices of Violation (NOVs) specifically for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports in accordance with HPD rules. The building has also faced recurring rodent issues, with five documented instances of rat activity between 2022 and 2024. Most recently, rat activity was confirmed during inspections in April 2024 and June 2024.

Prior to this, the building underwent rodent inspections in 2020 and from 2012 to 2013, during which it passed inspections, suggesting some periods of improved maintenance. The property's inspection history from 2012-2020 showed consistent compliance with rodent control measures, though the recent spike in violations indicates emerging pest management challenges. While the current bedbug situation appears to have stabilized, the recurring rodent activity suggests ongoing pest management concerns that have persisted throughout different management periods, with particular attention needed to the building's response to housing maintenance code requirements.
