Augrented Insights Report for 140 Herkimer Street

140 Herkimer Street is a 16-unit, 4-story residential tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, built in 1905 and currently owned by Robert Raphael. The building has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant being recurring heating and rodent problems.

In late 2023, there was a heating emergency affecting the entire building, and multiple rodent inspections throughout 2024-2025 consistently showed rat activity, despite multiple bait applications (most recently in May 2025). The building's safety systems have also been a concern, with multiple emergency complaints in 2023 regarding carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and window guards, though these issues were subsequently addressed. The property has documented violations related to both interior and exterior maintenance, including requirements for painting and cleaning public areas (Halls and Stairs), repairs to fire escape components, and addressing water leaks in the 2024 inspection.

There have been three unsuccessful attempts by the Department of Buildings to investigate complaints of illegal conversion and illegal hotel rooms between 2023-2024. While the building experienced some pest issues previously, including one documented bedbug infestation in 2022, recent filings for the last three periods (2021-2024) show no current infestations. The owner has obtained at least one permit in July 2019, but the current status of any associated work is not detailed in the records.
