446 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

446 Bergen Street is a 4-story, 8-unit old law tenement building located in Park Slope, Brooklyn, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Ulumbije Lleshi. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three consecutive complaints documented between November 2022 and January 2023, representing a concerning pattern of emergency conditions affecting the entire building.

While some of these incidents were reportedly resolved upon inspection, the inability of the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) to gain access for verification in one instance raises concerns about the reliability of these resolutions. More recently, in April 2024, the building received a Class A violation for failing to file the required annual bedbug report, though similar violations were documented and resolved in March 2023, December 2022, and February 2022, suggesting a recurring compliance issue. An open Class B violation from December 2022 remains on record regarding encumbrances consisting of household items in the public hall on the 4th story.

Notably, there was a complaint in November 2022 regarding an egress issue, though inspectors found no violation at the time of inspection. The building's recent bedbug reports for 2023-2024, 2021-2022, and 2019-2020 show no documented infestations, while a rodent inspection in February 2018 passed without issues. The pattern of heating system problems and bedbug reporting compliance should be monitored, though the absence of documented infestations in recent years is a positive indicator of management response to such issues.
