25 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

25 Herkimer Street is a three-story, five-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, built in 1899 and currently owned by Elie Fouerti. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to regulatory requirements, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past four years (2021-2025) and regular rodent inspections, most recently passing inspections in January and July 2025. The property experienced some safety concerns in 2020, including open Housing Maintenance Code violations related to fire egress and self-closing doors, as well as the need for a ventilating skylight over the stairwell.

While several construction-related complaints were filed in late 2018 regarding safety nets and site conditions, inspections typically found no violations warranting further action. The building's history shows the owner has generally addressed regulatory requirements, as evidenced by the timely filing of bedbug reports showing zero infested units since 2021. However, there have been periodic rodent activity reports, most notably in early 2024.

Between 2018 and 2020, multiple housing code violations were noted regarding safety features and building maintenance, though many were subsequently addressed and closed. The property has maintained proper documentation and compliance with carbon monoxide detector requirements and smoke detector notice postings as of 2018. Several permits were issued between 2018 and 2019 for building-related work, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements to the property.
