1082 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

1082 Herkimer Street is a two-family, two-story residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1910 and currently owned by Aminul Islam. The property has experienced several notable maintenance and health-related issues over the past few years, with the most significant concerns centered around plumbing and sewage systems.

In late 2022 and early 2023, there were documented problems including an indoor sewage leak and associated odor complaints that necessitated investigation by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Multiple plumbing-related complaints have been filed with the Department of Buildings, including an illegal plumbing work complaint in February 2022, though inspections did not result in any violations at the time. More recently, in 2024-2025, the building has faced ongoing challenges with rodent activity, with multiple inspections indicating rat presence and the need for bait applications throughout the year.

Notably, compliance inspections in August and November 2024 confirmed rat activity, suggesting a persistent pest management issue. While the building's earlier complaints from 2022 regarding vacant and unsecured conditions were investigated and found to have no violations at the time, the current rodent situation appears to be the most pressing ongoing concern. The property has undergone regular compliance checks, with bait applications continuing into late 2024, indicating an active effort to manage the pest situation, though the frequency and persistence of these inspections suggest an ongoing challenge with maintaining a completely rodent-free environment.
