300 Schermerhorn Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

300 Schermerhorn Street is a 14-story, 2013-built Class A residential building located in Boerum Hill, currently owned by Hevin Mehta. The building has experienced recurring pest control issues, with the most recent bedbug report (2024-2025) showing infestation in 68 units with 29 experiencing reinfestation.

The property has a documented history of unsanitary conditions related to pests, with multiple complaints filed through HPD from 2018 through 2024, though inspections generally resulted in no violations being issued. The building has also faced heating challenges, with several emergency heat/hot water complaints between 2022 and 2024, some of which were marked as duplicates or resulted in no access for inspection. Recent administrative matters include a FISP Cycle 9C Technical Report that was not filed by the February 2024 deadline, and a 2018 elevator safety violation related to a tampered door zone restrictor that resulted in a $1,250 penalty.

The Department of Buildings has dismissed several violations related to various maintenance issues over the years, including elevator defects and energy benchmarking reports. Rodent inspections conducted between 2014 and 2018 show a pattern of rat activity followed by compliance passes, suggesting some remediation efforts were implemented, though pest control issues have remained a persistent concern in recent years. The building's management has generally responded to complaints, as evidenced by the various closed statuses of service requests, though access issues have sometimes complicated inspections.
