1267 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

1267 Herkimer Street is a 5-story, 7-unit New Law Tenement building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1920 and owned by Simon Klein. The property has undergone several significant events in recent years, particularly between 2018-2024. Of particular concern was a period of unauthorized occupancy in December 2021, when the Environmental Control Board noted occupied units on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors contrary to a partial vacate order, though this violation was later resolved.

During 2019-2020, the building experienced multiple construction-related issues, including stop-work orders and violations for work beyond approved plans, though these were ultimately rescinded or resolved. The building has a documented history of pest control challenges, particularly with rodents, with multiple 311 complaints and violations between 2018-2019, though recent bedbug reporting (2022-2024) shows no infestations. The property has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2022, with recent filings (2023-2024) showing zero infested or re-infested units. Three instances of rodent-related complaints were recorded in 2019, though subsequent inspections in December 2019 and earlier inspections generally showed compliance or passing results.

The building's permit records show multiple active permits issued between 2020-2021, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts. Recent developments are more positive, with no reported pest issues in the last three years and completed bedbug reporting compliance. The property's current condition appears stable, with all recent bedbug reports showing no infestations and no major recent violations on record. However, the building's historical data reveals a pattern of compliance issues related to construction, occupancy, and pest control that required significant management attention during the period from 2018-2021.
