54 Herkimer Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216
54 Herkimer Place is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant and owned by Joe Gross, constructed in 1931. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water throughout 2024 and into early 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed with HPD between November 2024 and February 2025, though in many cases, inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.
In addition to the heating issues, there have been several building-wide complaints, including pest problems in November 2024, as well as multiple individual unit concerns including plumbing, errant appliances, window frame issues, and water leaks. The building's maintenance history reveals persistent maintenance challenges. In January 2023, multiple violations were documented in Apartment 1R, including problems with self-closing doors, leaky bathtub faucets, and inadequate heat and hot water supply.
An attempted inspection of the boiler system in November 2024 was also unsuccessful. The property has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations since 2018, though there have been documented rodent issues, with multiple inspections between 2022-2025 revealing periods of rat activity, particularly notable in 2023, while recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 show improved conditions with "Passed" results. All documented violations from 2018 and 2023 have been officially closed, though the building continues to experience periodic heating system challenges affecting resident comfort.
