547 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217
547 Bergen Street is a 16-unit, 4-story residential tenement building located in Prospect Heights, built in 1904 and currently owned by Susan Shabsels. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most pressing concerns being related to safety systems. In 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding carbon monoxide and smoke detector functionality, with inspections confirming problems that typically require urgent attention.
The building faced heat and hot water system issues in January 2024, affecting both the entire building and individual apartments, with at least one violation noted for apartment 1C regarding inadequate hot water provision. More recently, in early 2024, a violation was issued for failure to provide access to the heating system/boiler room, leading to an active Environmental Control Board violation with a $250 penalty. The property's history shows previous heat and hot water problems dating back to 2021, and while it has generally maintained good standing in terms of pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in recent filings, there have been periods of rodent issues.
Notable rodent activity was documented in 2010, 2012, and 2017, though recent inspections since 2018 have consistently passed. The building successfully passed several rodent inspections in 2018, 2022, and 2023, indicating improved pest management protocols. Additionally, there was an illegal conversion complaint investigation in 2019 that was unable to gain access for inspection. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2019 through 2025 shows zero infestations or eradications, suggesting effective management of this particular issue.
