1086 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

1086 Herkimer Street is a 3-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by The Halsey Group, LLC. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with significant incidents reported in both January 2023 (entire building) and November 2021 (apartment-specific), leading to multiple violations, though most have since been resolved. A comprehensive inspection in May 2023 revealed several violations primarily affecting apartment 2B, including problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, water leaks, ceiling repairs, and lighting fixtures.

The building's safety infrastructure was also addressed in 2023, with a violation regarding access to the heating system being resolved in February 2023. All required bedbug reports since 2020 have shown no infestations, and the building has consistently passed rodent inspections between 2019 and 2025, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 confirming compliance. The property has demonstrated proactive management in addressing violations, with most being certified as corrected within reasonable timeframes.

The building's maintenance record shows attention to both emergency and non-emergency issues, with particular focus on the heating system and individual apartment conditions. While there have been multiple violations, the owner has generally responded appropriately to regulatory requirements, with no recent history of bedbug infestations or rodent problems. The current status of the building suggests improved maintenance practices, as evidenced by the recent passing rodent inspection and timely addressing of most violations.
