Augrented Insights Report for 17-13 Himrod Street

The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 17-13 Himrod Street in Ridgewood, owned by Alex Lebowitz and constructed in 1930, has experienced recurring issues with heating and plumbing systems over the past two years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat/hot water complaints in 2023-2024, with inspections finding either no violations (April 2024) or being unable to gain access for inspection (October 2023).

Several plumbing issues have been documented, including multiple water leak complaints (heavy flow in March 2023, slow leaks in February 2023) and problems with the bathtub/shower facilities in both February and March 2023. The building's current violations, as of April 2024, indicate significant concerns including defective fire escape brackets, unsafe electrical wiring in the cellar, and issues with self-closing doors. The property has a history of infrastructure challenges, with the Department of Buildings citing various violations between 2010-2022, including past issues with the boiler system (October 2022) and illegal conversion concerns in March 2023 that resulted in no violations being found during inspection.

Recent bedbug reports from 2025 show no current infestations, though there was one reported case in 2022 that was eradicated. The building's rodent inspections between 2010-2017 present a mixed picture, with some failures recorded for "Other Reasons" in 2010 and 2017, though subsequent inspections showed compliance. The most recent violation regarding failure to file the 2023 External Low Pressure Inspection (issued September 2024) remains active.
