1061 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The two-family house at 1061 Herkimer Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Prashanth Rayapudi, was built in 1899 and consists of two stories. The property has experienced several significant issues over its recent history, particularly in 2019 when multiple complaints were made about the building being "Vacant, Open and Unguarded," resulting in at least one violation being issued on May 1, 2019.

During this period, there was also a complaint regarding potentially illegal occupancy. While a violation from 2019 was eventually dismissed in September 2023, indicating repairs had been completed with the proper permits, there have been ongoing concerns about pest control and building maintenance. Notably, 2023-2024 saw no reported bedbug infestations, with all filings showing zero infested or eradicated units.

However, a June 2025 rodent inspection resulted in failure for "Other Reasons," contrasting with three consecutive passing inspections between 2018-2022. The building's most recent Department of Buildings complaints in 2023 and 2024 were related to "Sweep" complaints, which were inspected and found to have no violations warranting enforcement. The property appears to have improved in terms of pest control based on the bedbug reporting, though the recent rodent inspection raises some concern about current maintenance standards.
