Augrented Insights Report for 549 Bergen Street

The 10-unit, 4-story building at 549 Bergen Street in Prospect Heights, owned by Nicholas Kotsonis and constructed in 1904, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past two years. Most recently, in February 2025, there were two separate complaints regarding heat and hot water (one for the entire building and one for an individual apartment), though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection in both cases.

Similar heating concerns were reported and addressed in December 2024 and April 2024, with tenants generally confirming restoration of services during inspections. The building has open violations from January 2024 regarding inadequate heating in Apartment 2 (first story) and locked access to the heating system in the cellar.

Historical data also reveals persistent rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2019-2022 showing rat sightings and the application of bait. While the building shows compliance in recent bedbug reporting, with no infested units reported in the past five filings, various safety notices were required to be posted in 2023 regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide devices, and gas leak procedures. The most recent roofing inspection in 2023 found no violations, but there have been multiple heating-related emergency complaints requiring HPD intervention in recent years, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges with the building's systems.
