789 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, three-unit old law tenement building at 789 Herkimer Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Hisham Modine, has experienced several notable events since 2019. In 2022, there was an unsanitary condition complaint regarding mold that was classified as an emergency, though HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the reported conditions.

More recently, a violation was issued in March 2023 for failure to file the annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been resolved given the building's subsequent bedbug filings showing no infestations from 2022 through 2024. The building underwent multiple construction-related inspections in late 2019, including a construction enforcement complaint in October that triggered a stop work order, though this was fully rescinded by November 2019. The property has maintained a clean record with respect to pest management in recent years, with the Department of Health's rodent inspections showing consistent "Passed" results from 2020 through 2025, including the most recent inspection in July 2025.

The building's bedbug reporting from 2022 to 2024 indicates no instances of infestation or re-infestation, suggesting effective management of this particular issue. The multiple permits issued in 2019 (between June and October) under job number 321967608 for various work types, including plumbing and general construction, indicate active maintenance of the property during that period. While the mold complaint and bedbug reporting violation from 2022 and 2023 respectively stand out as the most significant tenant-related issues in recent years, the subsequent lack of recurring problems and successful rodent inspections suggest improved conditions since those incidents.
