659 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11238

659 Bergen Street is a 5-story, 14-unit residential building constructed in 2008 in Prospect Heights, currently owned by Deborah Auyeung. The building experienced significant infrastructure issues in early 2019, with multiple tenant complaints and HPD inspections revealing problems with heating/hot water systems and cooking gas services throughout the building. Noteworthy violations from 2019 include locked heating system access in the cellar, inadequate gas supply to kitchen fixtures in apartment 4B, and incomplete hot water provision throughout the same unit.

More recently, the Department of Buildings (DOB) issued several violations in 2023 regarding failure to file external low-pressure inspections, though these violations were subsequently dismissed. The building's maintenance record shows attention to pest control, with bedbug reports filed annually since 2019 showing zero infestation in the past four filing periods (2020-2024). Rodent inspections conducted from 2018 through 2025 have generally shown compliance, though a "Rat Activity" result was noted in May 2019.

The property has undergone various permitted work projects over the years, with active permits issued in late 2022 and early 2023 related to plumbing and other improvements. The most recent housing maintenance code compaints and violations from 2019, including the need for proper gas leak and smoke detector notices, remain in an "Open" status according to the most recent information available as of 2023, suggesting these issues require verification of compliance. The building's management has consistently filed appropriate annual reports, with the most recent bedbug reporting period showing no affected units.
