77 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

77 Herkimer Street is a 4-unit, 4-story old law tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Cinderella Jones and constructed in 1905. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past years, with the most pressing concerns occurring in 2019 when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding heat/hot water, plumbing (toilet), and window frame problems - though no violations were ultimately issued.

That same year, the building faced multiple violations in Apartment 4 related to pest control (roach infestation), safety equipment (smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector issues), and various infrastructure problems that were all certified as corrected by September 2019. More recent records show consistent attention to pest control, with the building maintaining a clean record in the past three annual bedbug reports from 2021-2024, showing no infested units.

However, the property has experienced some concerning rodent activity, with inspections in 2025 (most recently in July) documenting rat activity, though prior inspections (2024 and earlier) had passed. The building's compliance with bedbug reporting requirements has been consistent, with the most recent report from September 2024 showing no infested units, while inspections and complaints regarding work without permits and water drainage issues have been investigated but found to warrant no violations. While the building has had various maintenance issues in the past, records indicate that most violations have been addressed, though the recent rodent activity suggests ongoing challenges with pest management.
