985 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The two-family property at 985 Herkimer Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Sherri Hobson-Greene, has experienced several notable issues in recent years, particularly in 2025. The building has faced multiple emergency complaints in 2025, including fire escape safety concerns, door and window issues, and a pest infestation.

Specifically, there were two fire escape-related complaints in April 2025, one of which was re-filed in June 2025. The property has also had recurring problems with heat and hot water systems, with complaints filed in both April and February 2025, though HPD was unable to complete inspections for these issues. Additional concerns from April 2025 included problems with doors, window frames, wall conditions, and an intercom system, with some of these resulting in violations being issued.

Despite these challenges, there have been some improvements, as evidenced by a passed rodent inspection in June 2025, and previous inspections from 2019 through 2024, which had also passed, indicating good pest control management when compared to other buildings. The building's inspection history shows that while there have been multiple complaints, many have been resolved without violations being issued, though several compliance issues remain outstanding. The most recent safety inspection in June 2025 did not find any violations related to the fire escape complaint, suggesting some resolution of safety concerns, though the building's 2025 service request history indicates ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges that have required multiple tenant complaints to address.
