949 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

949 Herkimer Street is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 2004 and currently owned by Dave Bates. The building experienced a significant fire incident in August 2022, resulting in fire damage violations in all three apartments (Units 1, 2, and 3), along with additional violations related to a broken skylight in the public hall stairwell on the third story, accumulation of refuse in the front yard, and defective fire retardant materials in public areas. The building's common areas required repairs and painting to meet code requirements.

Since this incident, there have been no reported recurrences of similar violations or other significant safety issues. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status over the past five reporting periods from 2020 through 2024, with no instances of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation reported. Rodent control efforts have shown improvement, with the most recent inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025 passing successfully.

The building experienced some rodent activity in 2016, leading to multiple bait applications in early 2017, but has since demonstrated effective pest management. Two plumbing permits were issued for the property in 2018 and 2019, though the specific nature of the work was not detailed in the records. The building's overall maintenance record shows adherence to inspection requirements and prompt attention to violations, particularly following the 2022 fire incident.
