245 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217
The two-family residence at 245 Bergen Street in Boerum Hill, owned by Gerard Agard, has a documented history since its 1859 construction, with the most recent issues primarily concerning door and window security. The latest complaint from February 2023 regarding door conditions was inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), which found no violations despite the complaint being classified as an emergency.
The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with three separate emergency complaints about inadequate heat/hot water service affecting the entire building between 2018 and 2019, two of which were closed without inspections being completed, though one complaint did require an inspection by HPD. Additional historical records show a 2022 complaint related to vaccine mandate enforcement, which was acknowledged by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH).
The Department of Buildings conducted two special inspections: one in July 2020 found no violations, and another regarding gas utility compliance in May 2019, where inspectors were unable to gain access. The property has maintained a basic two-unit configuration throughout its history, with the majority of recent complaints focusing on urgent infrastructure-related issues, though many were either resolved without violations or closed due to inspection access limitations.
