1249 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

At 1249 Herkimer Street, a three-story, three-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant owned by Lynece Johnson and built in 1920, there have been several recent maintenance issues requiring attention. Most notably, in September 2024, three separate complaints were filed regarding an electric/gas range, unsanitary conditions relating to pests, and a door frame issue - all of which HPD attempted to inspect but were unable to complete the inspections. Prior to these, in September 2024, there were additional complaints about plumbing issues with a toilet and a door problem, though inspections for these complaints were completed without any violations being issued.

The building has recurring bedbug reporting violations from 2021 through 2024, with all four violations currently listed as open, indicating the required annual bedbug reports have not been filed as mandated under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC. It's worth noting that the building passed rodent inspections in 2014 and 2019, suggesting these particular pest issues have been managed effectively in the past. The property's recent maintenance record shows a pattern of pest-related issues, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions, though most recent HPD inspections did not result in violations.

The building's age and history as a "heretofore converted Class A" property suggests it has transitioned from one designation to another, though specific details of this conversion are not provided in the available data. While the 2024 complaints indicate various maintenance concerns, many of these remain unresolved due to HPD's inability to complete inspections. The open violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements, in particular, warrant attention as these represent non-compliance with housing regulations dating back several years.
