817 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233
817 Herkimer Street is a three-story, four-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, owned by Clifton Smith and constructed in 1930. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with five separate complaints registered between 2020 and 2023, three of which resulted in violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).
While recent inspections in November 2023 showed heat and hot water systems had been addressed (with no violations issued), the pattern of complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges in this area. The building has maintained rodent-free status, passing inspections in 2020, 2022, 2024, and 2025.
The property has been diligent in addressing pest management requirements, with bedbug reports consistently showing zero infested units from 2020-2024, though three violations were issued between 2021-2024 regarding the filing of annual bedbug reports. A significant maintenance violation from October 2021 was documented regarding hot water provision in Apartment 2, though this appears to have been resolved. The building's most recent Department of Buildings permit records from December 2019 show two permits issued, one for plumbing (PL05) and one for alteration (AL04), though no further details about these permits are available in the provided data.
