AI summary · updated June 2026

17-24 Himrod Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Soopchand Chetram. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three emergency complaints filed within a one-week period in November 2023, following a similar pattern of complaints in December 2022, indicating a persistent and unresolved system problem. A comprehensive inspection of the building in December 2022 revealed multiple violations including safety concerns with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, unsanitary pest conditions, electrical lighting issues, and various plumbing and cabinet problems. Specifically, violations were documented in apartment 3L regarding broken ceiling fixtures, defective vinyl floor tiles, kitchen cabinet doors, bathroom sink security, and inadequate hot water supply. The building's safety systems were found to be in need of attention, with violations related to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though a subsequent inspection in November 2023 noted one violation regarding a door self-closing device.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in any dwelling units from 2019 through 2024, as indicated by the annual bedbug reporting requirements. Additionally, all recent rodent inspections conducted between 2009 and 2024 have resulted in passing grades, suggesting effective pest management in this area. While the building has a history of maintenance issues, particularly in late 2022 and late 2023, it has shown some progress with recent inspections, though several open violations from 2022 remain outstanding. The most recent heating system complaints in November 2023 suggest that this particular infrastructure remains problematic, despite previous instances where the issue was reportedly resolved, as noted in HPD's resolution descriptions.
