889 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11238

889 Bergen Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Crown Heights and owned by Manuel Ramos. Built in 1931, this Class A building has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in March 2024, there was a reported safety concern regarding a broken or missing window guard, which was investigated by HPD but resulted in no violations.

The building underwent significant lead-based paint compliance inspections in May 2024 for apartments 1 and 5, with violations issued for failing to provide required documentation in apartment 3, though these were later certified as corrected by June 2024. The property has also faced electrical concerns, with four wiring-related complaints clustered in March-May 2021. The building's maintenance history reveals persistent attention to safety requirements, including recent violations related to the fire escape system.

In May 2024, violations were cited for a defective fire escape drop ladder and broken gravity hook, with the latter remaining an open violation as of the latest inspection. Previous maintenance issues have included self-closing door problems in 2021, which were properly addressed. The property has demonstrated effective pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations since 2021 and consistent passing inspections for rodent control, with the most recent inspections showing "Passed" results from 2019 through 2025. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges over the years, most have been addressed through proper channels and inspections, with an emphasis on regulatory compliance regarding safety features and lead paint management.
