444 Herzl Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

444 Herzl Street is a two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building located in Brownsville, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Chris Chance. The building's most pressing current issue is related to bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 indicating that the required annual bedbug reports have not been filed as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code.

The building has a significant history of maintenance issues stemming from a January 2019 inspection of apartment 2R, which revealed multiple safety concerns including inadequate heating, missing smoke detector, and the absence of a carbon monoxide detector - all of which remain open violations. Additionally, there were system access and heating system-related violations noted in the public hall areas. While there was a heat/hot water complaint in January 2019 that resulted in HPD inspections and violations, this specific issue appears to have been addressed.

The building's historical maintenance record shows some attention to rodent issues, with inspections in March 2010 showing initial rat activity followed by a passing compliance inspection later that month. This building's documented violations suggest ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance and maintenance requirements, particularly in the areas of bedbug reporting and safety equipment functionality. The most recent violations as of 2024 indicate that certain administrative requirements regarding pest management documentation have not been met in multiple consecutive years.
