1352 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, three-unit tenement at 1352 Herkimer Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Aradhana Sarin, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since 2018, though most recent records show improved conditions. Recent complaints from March 2025 regarding heat/hot water and cooking gas issues were inspected by HPD but found not to violate housing laws. In 2019, the building faced multiple rodent-related complaints between July and September, which required baiting inspections to address rat activity.

The building's violation history reveals several safety concerns between 2018-2019, including issues with fire escape access, door locks, window guards, and hot water temperature controls, along with two separate heating/hot water emergencies in July 2019 and February 2018. More recent records show improved pest management, with the building filing zero bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, and successful compliance inspections for rodent control. The property underwent a significant inspection in February 2018 that identified multiple safety concerns, including problems with door security, fire escape access, and window guards in Apartment 2, as well as a broken vestibule door lock.

Earlier violations related to carbon monoxide detector requirements and gas leak procedures were also recorded in early 2018. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to pest control, with multiple baiting inspections conducted in 2019, though these issues appear to have been resolved as evidenced by subsequent zero-infestation reports. The most recent building permit on record from March 2019 was issued for plumbing work (Job #321910385), though the specific nature of this work is not detailed in the provided data.
