Augrented Insights Report for 438 Himrod Street

The 3-story, 6-unit residential building at 438 Himrod Street in Bushwick, owned by Frank Caramanica and constructed in 1931, has experienced a series of maintenance and safety issues in recent years. As of April 2025, there are multiple open violations from an October 2024 inspection, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, a missing bathroom door knob, defective doorbell/buzzer, and issues with wall plaster and paint in apartment 2R. The building also has open violations regarding emergency signage requirements and inspection certificate postings.

Recent complaints in early 2025 include unsanitary conditions related to pests and garbage storage, with several other service requests (for electrical, window, door, and wall issues) that HPD was unable to inspect. A January 2025 heat/hot water complaint was reportedly corrected. The building's violation history shows recurring issues with building systems and safety equipment, though it has passed recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025.

Previous records include a 2024 plumbing complaint that was resolved, and a 2018 illegal plumbing work complaint that warranted no violation. The property has maintained a clean bedbug record since 2021, with no reported infestations in the last four annual reporting periods. Two significant rodent activity incidents were recorded in 2022, following a pattern of passed inspections in previous years. While many recent complaints have been resolved, the current open violations related to safety equipment and building maintenance requirements suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
