Augrented Insights Report for 720 Bergen Street

720 Bergen Street is a 4-story, 14-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Jerome Waxenberg. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with multiple documented complaints between 2022 and 2024, though these were typically resolved promptly, with tenants reporting restoration of services.

More recently, there have been concerns regarding the building's boiler system, with complaints in October and November 2024 resulting in an Environmental Control Board violation for various boiler deficiencies, including missing steam return components and flue pipe defects, with a $625 penalty imposed. The property has faced persistent rodent challenges, with several documented rat sightings and infestations between 2020 and 2023, though recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed, suggesting improved conditions. Water-related issues have also been documented, including a heavy flow water leak in 2024, but inspections found no violations.

The building has maintained an active bedbug prevention reporting record, consistently showing zero infested units between 2019 and 2024. Various maintenance violations were recorded in 2020-2021, including issues with mold, water leaks, and plaster damage in apartment 1LF, all of which have been closed after remediation. Recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024 show fluctuating results, with rat activity noted earlier, but passing inspections more recently, indicating potential improvements in pest management.
