1088 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
1088 Herkimer Street is a 3-story, 6-unit old law tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1910 and currently owned by Thomas Roberts. The building has experienced recurring electrical issues in recent years, with five documented power outage incidents between 2023-2024, including two consecutive outages in June-July 2024, one of which was categorized as an immediate emergency. The property has also faced various maintenance challenges, including a complete heat and hot water outage in January 2024 affecting the entire building, multiple instances of non-functional lighting (December 2023 and February 2023), and several other maintenance issues such as water leaks, door problems, and issues with electrical outlets and switches.
The building's inspection history reveals significant violations and maintenance needs. In September 2024, violations were documented in apartments 1R and 2R regarding pest infestations (specifically cockroaches) and multiple safety concerns including defective smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. Earlier violations included bedbug reporting requirements in 2023-2024, though recent filings indicate no current infestation. The property has also had some environmental control board violations, including a failure to maintain building codes related to window AC installation in December 2023 and an issue concerning parking structure inspection reports in October 2024.
While the most recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passed, previous years showed some rat activity, notably in 2022. Recent maintenance and safety concerns suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and infrastructure. The property has shown some improvements, with current bedbug and rodent inspection results passing, but significant historical patterns of electrical, pest, and safety-related complaints indicate a building requiring regular and attentive maintenance. The most recent violations have shown some consistency with earlier patterns, particularly regarding safety equipment and electrical systems, while also requiring attention to pest control and building upkeep.
