794 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11238

794 Bergen Street is a 3-story, 3-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Vivian Williams. The building has a recurring pattern of regulatory compliance issues, most notably regarding bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations dating back to 2021 through 2024, all citing failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under Housing Maintenance Code.

The property has experienced persistent rodent-related challenges over the past several years, with multiple sightings and documentation of rodent activity. While recent rodent inspections in 2025, 2024, and 2023 have all passed, there were documented instances of rat activity in May 2021, along with a significant rat sighting incident in April 2021 that resulted in health department violations requiring follow-up inspections.

Most concerning are a series of complaints in 2025 regarding unauthorized work in the building, including work without a permit in early May 2025 that resulted in a full stop work order, and several complaints about work contrary to stop work orders in May and June 2025. The Department of Buildings conducted inspections in response to these complaints, with findings ranging from "No Violation Warranted" to "Inspector Unable To Gain Access." While the building has passed recent rodent inspections, the history of regulatory compliance issues, particularly regarding both pest control reporting and unauthorized construction activities, suggests ongoing management challenges. The building's maintenance record shows intermittent rodent problems continue to be monitored through regular inspections, though recent rodent inspection compliance has improved.
