446 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213

446 Herkimer Street, a 2-family, 2-story building constructed in 1910 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, is currently owned by Joshua Valme. The property has experienced recurring heating system issues, with six heat/hot water complaints filed between 2022 and 2024, all of which were marked as "unable to gain access" during inspections. In 2023, multiple complaints were filed regarding ceiling paint/plaster conditions and water leaks, with at least two instances of heavy flow water leaks reported in March.

The building has several open violations from 2018-2019 that remain unresolved, including issues with a double-cylinder key-operated lock at the building entrance, which is considered a safety concern. These violations also encompass leaky faucets in apartment 3F's bathroom and kitchenette, and a missing carbon monoxide detector. More recent inspections from 2024 have at least confirmed the absence of rodent issues, as indicated by passed inspections in June 2024, October 2022, and March 2020.

The property owner has active Environmental Control Board violations from 2020-2021 related to failure to comply with correction orders for work done without proper permits, with penalties totaling $62,500. These violations appear to stem from construction work that occurred in 2019-2020, with multiple citations regarding the same violations. Despite these numerous complaints and violations, most of the Housing Maintenance Code complaints filed by tenants resulted in no violations being issued upon inspection, though they still indicate persistent maintenance issues requiring attention.
