1328 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
1328 Herkimer Street is a three-story, three-unit old law tenement building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Princess James. The building has experienced numerous maintenance and habitability issues, particularly in 2025, with multiple complaints about heat/hot water problems, plumbing issues (including a non-functioning bathtub/shower and toilet), paint/plaster concerns, and the presence of mold. While many of these recent complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) without resulting violations, there were some violations issued in connection with the plumbing problems and heat/hot water systems.
A significant rodent infestation was documented in December 2024 in at least two separate apartments (2nd floor) with violations issued for mice infestations, and there have been multiple rodent activity reports between 2018-2024, though a March 2024 inspection passed. The building has faced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed between February and March 2025, and a December 2024 violation regarding excessive hot water temperature. Earlier maintenance history includes a 2022 complaint about a defective boiler, though inspectors were unable to gain access to the property.
The property has shown some improvements in pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported between November 2022 and October 2023, and the most recent rodent inspection in March 2024 passing. However, several open violations remain from December 2024 inspections regarding heating systems, including inadequate heat supply and problems with radiator air valves. The building's maintenance history indicates ongoing challenges with basic systems and habitability requirements, though smaller issues such as paint/plaster problems and appliance concerns have been addressed without resulting in violations. The concentration of recent complaints in early 2025 suggests continuing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding the building's heating systems and plumbing infrastructure.
