26 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

26 Herkimer Street is a three-story, four-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, built in 1910 and currently owned by Darrell Small. The building has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations noted in 2023 and 2024, despite previous violations from 2021 and 2022 having been closed.

These violations pertain to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations. The building has also faced some safety notification compliance challenges, particularly in January 2019, when violations were recorded for not properly posting required notices regarding smoke detector requirements, heating system access, gas leak procedures, and carbon monoxide detection device requirements in common areas. The property has shown generally good maintenance of basic safety systems through its consistent passing of rodent inspections.

A notable cluster of rodent-related violations was recorded in 2022, with an initial inspection citing "Rat Activity," but subsequent inspections from 2022 through 2025 have consistently passed. Additionally, a violation from 2018 remains unresolved, relating to the failure to provide requested records to the Department within the required timeframe. While the building's rodent control efforts have improved significantly since 2022, the ongoing bedbug reporting violations and the historical pattern of safety notification compliance issues suggest areas requiring continued attention to ensure full regulatory compliance and resident safety.
