1261 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

1261 Herkimer Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, owned by Liat Ganz and constructed in 1920 as an old law tenement. The building has experienced recurring bedbug infestations over the past several years, with the most recent report from May 2025 showing no current infestations, following a pattern of eradication success.

Prior to this, the building had recorded three bedbug infestations during the 2022-2023 period, with all units reportedly treated, and three units reported infested in 2021-2022. The property has consistently received violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports in accordance with HPD rules from 2021 through 2024, though all these violations have since been closed.

The building's pest management history shows some improvement in recent years, with the most recent bedbug report indicating successful management of the issue. Additionally, rodent inspections from 2014 through 2019 show a generally positive trend, with the most recent rodent inspection in February 2019 resulting in a "Passed" status, following one instance of rat activity in October 2014. The property's maintenance record suggests a pattern of pest management challenges over the years, particularly regarding bedbugs, though recent reports indicate improved compliance with reporting requirements and elimination of infestations.
