419 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213

419 Herkimer Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant and was completed in 2016. The property, managed by owner Keren Zohar, has experienced several notable issues throughout its history.

Most recently, there have been ongoing violations related to bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations recorded in 2023 and 2024 indicating failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules. The building has also faced water-related issues, with reports of a slow leak and mold conditions in April 2022, though these complaints were investigated by HPD and closed without violations being issued. In April 2022, the building faced significant legal and safety concerns when an investigation into illegal hotel room usage resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board violations against the property, including one for inadequate means of egress and another for lack of required fire alarms in a rear apartment on the third floor, though these violations were subsequently resolved with imposed penalties.

The building's maintenance history shows a mixed record, with rodent inspections revealing both failures and successes in pest control compliance between 2010 and 2024. While the most recent rodent inspections in 2022 and 2024 showed passing results, there were notable failures in 2010 and 2018. The property has maintained basic safety standards overall, evidenced by passing inspections and prompt responses to complaints, though the pattern of violations and compliance issues suggests ongoing maintenance and regulatory compliance challenges.
