798 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11238
The three-unit, three-story old law tenement building at 798 Bergen Street in Crown Heights, owned by Wendell Edwards and constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant structural and pest management issues in recent years.
Most notably, in March 2024, the building underwent emergency inspections revealing serious structural concerns, including a displaced decorative cornice at Exposure 1 and vertical cracking at Exposure 2, leading to the imposition of a $2,500 penalty for exterior maintenance violations (ECB violation #39109079Y). These structural concerns prompted the installation of sidewalk sheds to protect the public, though initial violation notices related to their installation were ultimately dismissed.
Between late 2023 and mid-2025, the building's rodent activity has been a recurring issue, with five documented instances of rat activity during initial inspections, including recent findings in May 2025 and previously in November 2021 and March 2022. While bedbug reporting requirements have been met regularly since 2021 with consistently showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units, the building's overall maintenance record shows ongoing challenges with both structural and pest management issues, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2021-2023, and a notable rodent inspection showing activity just two months ago.
