17-04 Himrod Street, Queens, NY 11385

17-04 Himrod Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Ridgewood, Queens, built in 1930 and currently owned by Agim Capric. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past few years, with nine documented complaints between 2022 and 2023, though most were eventually resolved through HPD inspections. A notable pattern emerged in 2023, with multiple complaints clustered between February and April, indicating potential systemic heating system problems.

Recent complaints include a wall paint/plaster issue from November 2023 and a pending exterior low-pressure inspection violation from September 2024. The building has documented violations related to mold (Class B) in Apartment 2L and an entrance door issue (Class C) from February 2023, plus earlier violations for peeling paint in Kitchen and Bathroom in Apartment 1R (2022). The building's bedbug and rodent management records show positive trends, with the most recent bedbug report from July 2025 showing zero infested units, continuing a pattern of effective management since 2021.

Rodent inspections have consistently passed since 2013, with the most recent inspection in September 2024 also passing. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, though there was a period of missing filings between 2022 and 2023 that resulted in violations during inspections. While basic health and safety standards appear generally met (as evidenced by passing rodent inspections and recent bedbug filings), the recurring heat/hot water issues and some unresolved violations suggest areas that may require attention.
