101 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

101 Bergen Street is a 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, and has been under the ownership of Ed Onig since 1879. The most recent building issue was a heat/hot water problem affecting the entire building in February 2025, which was promptly addressed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The building experienced a significant cluster of maintenance issues in September 2021, resulting in multiple violations, particularly affecting the 4th-floor apartment (4F).

These included problems with plumbing (basin/sink, toilet), safety concerns (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), flooring issues, water leaks, and unsanitary conditions (pests). Several of these violations, including issues with water supply, faucet functionality, flushing apparatus, and safety devices in 4F, were officially closed as of February 2023. The building has maintained a record of filing bedbug reports annually from 2021 to 2024, with consistent reports showing zero infestation or eradication cases.

Rodent inspections from 2010 through 2016 indicate varying results, with a failed inspection in 2016 and a successful compliance inspection later that same year. While the building's age (146 years) is notable, recent years have shown improved maintenance of bedbug control measures, with no recorded infestations. The history of violations and complaints suggests periods of significant maintenance challenges, particularly in 2021, though many of these issues have since been addressed and closed. The February 2025 heat issue, while concerning, appears to have been resolved quickly based on available records.
