131 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
131 Herkimer Street is a three-story, 9-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Nicole Riggle. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a heat and hot water emergency reported in February 2025 that resulted in HPD's inability to access the apartments for inspection.
The building has an active Department of Buildings violation from September 2024 regarding the failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, with similar violations for 2020, 2021, and 2018 inspections also noted in June 2023. This pattern of inspection neglect extends back to at least 2020, when a violation was issued for not filing the 2017 boiler inspection report. The building has shown consistent attention to bedbug management, with annual reports from 2019 through 2024 indicating zero infested dwelling units or re-infestations.
Rodent inspections have generally been favorable, with the most recent six inspections from 2023 to 2025 passing without issue, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in November 2022. Two Housing Maintenance Code violations were recorded in 2022 and 2021 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though subsequent filings have shown compliance. The property's inspection history suggests variable compliance with maintenance requirements, with particular concern regarding the low-pressure inspection filings and the recent heat/hot water issues.
