815 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, four-unit building at 815 Herkimer Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Dennis Cetinkaya, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most concerning being repeated heating and hot water supply problems. Between November and December 2021 alone, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water issues, with at least four separate reports between December 22-28, including complaints regarding the entire building.

These complaints were deemed emergencies by the Housing Maintenance Code and were closed, though one complaint from December 27 was noted as having heat and hot water restored according to tenant reports. The pattern of heating issues continued into December 2022, with three additional building-wide heating complaints registered between December 27-28, all classified as emergencies.

In addition to the heating problems, the building's record shows other maintenance issues, particularly in April 2021, when multiple complaints were filed regarding water supply problems, flooring issues, an electric/gas range appliance concern, and pest control matters, all of which were addressed and closed within a week. The building, constructed in 1930 and classified as 'Heretofore Converted Class A', has had a notable concentration of heating system-related problems over this period, with complaints consistently involving multiple units rather than isolated apartment issues. While many of these complaints were addressed and closed within reasonable timeframes, the frequency and pattern of heating-related issues across multiple years raises concerns about the building's heating system reliability.
