57 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

57 Bergen Street is a 4-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Cobble Hill, built in 1920 and currently owned by Frank Defalco. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent significant violation occurring in July 2022, when the building faced an Environmental Control Board violation related to the boiler system, specifically regarding the lack of a cleanout door at the base of the chimney, storage issues in the boiler room, and an incorrect safety discharge pipe configuration.

This violation was noted as having been resolved with no penalties imposed. Prior to this, the building had a notable heat and hot water emergency complaint in November 2018, which was promptly closed, and two violations in 2018 requiring improvements to building safety features: one regarding inadequate front entrance lighting (closed in July 2019) and another concerning a fire escape drop ladder shoe requirement (marked as open since April 2018).

The building's boiler system appears to have been a recurring concern, with a Department of Buildings complaint in 2022 about defective equipment. In terms of pest management, the building has maintained an impressive record with no reported bedbug infestations or eradications from 2018 through the present date. While there have been several permits processed for the building between 2018 and 2020 for plumbing and electrical work, the most recent permit application from October 2020 appears to still be in process.
