834 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

834 Herkimer Street is an 8-unit, 3-story residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by 834 Herkimer LLC. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns concentrated in mid-2024 including multiple emergency complaints regarding unsanitary conditions (specifically mold), door issues, and sewage problems. The building is currently facing open violations as of September 2024 in apartment 2F, including inadequate cold water supply issues affecting bathroom fixtures and kitchen sink, as well as problems with the flushing apparatus (Class A violations).

Historical issues include a series of heat and hot water complaints in 2021-2023, with some resulting in violations. The building underwent significant construction activity in 2018, during which multiple violations were recorded related to construction safety and oversight, resulting in substantial penalties totaling $50,000. These violations were later resolved.

Recent rodent inspections show consistent passing results from 2020 onwards, with a notable rat activity finding in 2019. The property has maintained a clean bedbug record over the past four filing periods (2021-2024), showing no infestations or required eradications, though there was a minor issue with illegal double cylinder locks at the front entrance identified in 2023. Recent building inspections have generally resulted in no major health or safety violations, though the persistent issues with mold, water supply, and door functionality suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building has passed all recent rodent inspections and maintained proper bedbug reporting compliance, indicating improved pest management practices.
