1354 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

1354 Herkimer Street is a three-unit, three-story old law tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1910 and currently owned by Jeffrey Lee. The building has experienced several recurring issues over the past few years, with the most significant concerns being the failure to file required annual bedbug reports, resulting in four open violations between 2021 and 2024.

The property has also faced multiple safety-related violations, including concerns about unauthorized alterations to common areas (2018), security issues with fire escape access (2018), and improper notice postings regarding housing information (2018). An emergency heat and hot water complaint was filed in January 2020, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions. Historically, the building underwent several inspections and received various violation notices between 2018 and 2024, with seven violations related to building safety and maintenance.

Notable issues from 2018 included illegal alterations to public areas, unauthorized locks preventing access to fire escape rooms, and missing required notices regarding the agency's housing information guide. While a rodent inspection conducted in February 2018 resulted in a passing grade, the building's record shows a pattern of compliance issues primarily concentrated in the areas of safety regulations and required reporting, particularly regarding bedbug management. All violations from 2018 relating to fire escape access and public area alterations were eventually closed following certification in July 2018.
