25 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The 6-story, 15-unit building at 25 Bergen Street in Cobble Hill, owned by Kosha Diaz and constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in September 2023, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding line of travel conditions, and inspections identified an ongoing problem with self-closing doors requiring attention in multiple locations, including apartment 1B, the compactor closet in the cellar, and apartment 3C.

The building has faced persistent violations related to elevator safety, with active ECB violations from August 2021 concerning phone repairs, door lock monitoring, and fire extinguisher servicing with an imposed penalty of $3,125. More concerning are the multiple active violations related to external low-pressure inspections, with violations issued in September 2024 for failure to file the required inspections dating back through 2020-2023.

The building's bedbug reporting history offers some reassurance, showing consistent filings between 2019 and 2024 indicating zero infested dwelling units or re-infestations during each reporting period. While the building has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, the recent pattern of active violations, particularly regarding elevator safety and low-pressure inspection filings, raises questions about maintenance oversight. The absence of recent elevator complaints since 2021 and the closure of several previous violations suggest some improvements have been made, though the most recent violations indicate continued attention is needed to maintain compliance with safety requirements.
