194 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

194 Herkimer Street is a 4-story, 10-unit residential building constructed in 2014 and currently owned by Joel Braver. The building has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns occurring in October 2024, including temporary heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building and an inspection of the fire escape that, while not resulting in any violations, indicated potential safety concerns.

The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past five years, with all recent filings (2021-2025) indicating zero infested units, though four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations were recorded between 2021-2024 for failing to file annual bedbug reports, before these violations were presumably resolved. The property has undergone regular inspections for rodent control, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 passing successfully, though there was one failed inspection in May 2024 for unspecified reasons.

Historical data from 2024-2021 shows various indoor air quality concerns, including sewage odor complaints in April 2021 and an unspecified indoor air quality issue in March 2021, both of which were addressed according to DOHMH records. The building's most recent maintenance history suggests recent improvements to building systems, as evidenced by the prompt restoration of heat and hot water during the October 2024 complaints, though these incidents indicate that building systems may require ongoing maintenance attention. Regular inspections and passing rodent control compliance demonstrate consistent property management oversight, despite occasional maintenance concerns that have emerged over the building's relatively short history.
