849 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
849 Herkimer Street is a two-family brick house located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Lydia Barnes, and was constructed in 1899. The property has experienced several maintenance issues, particularly in Apartment 2 on the second floor, where multiple housing maintenance code violations were documented during a comprehensive inspection on March 3, 2018.
These violations, which remain open as of the latest data, include concerns about window guards, electrical outlets (in both the bathroom and kitchen), plumbing fixtures (including leaky faucets in multiple locations), waste pipes, and plastered surfaces. While one violation related to bathroom toilet obstructions has been marked as closed, the persistence of these open violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The Department of Buildings recorded two inspection attempts in late 2020 that were unable to gain access, though these complaints are no longer active.
On a more positive note, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections over the past five years, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 showing no issues. The property has maintained a clean record regarding rodent infestations, with all four previous inspections (in 2024, 2022, and 2020) also passing without incident. This consistent compliance with rodent control measures contrasts with the more varied history of internal maintenance issues, highlighting some level of building upkeep in this specific area.
