804 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The 5-story, 9-unit residential building at 804 Bergen Street in Crown Heights, owned by Yidel Kohn and constructed in 2006, has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues over recent years. The most significant current concerns include multiple unsanitary conditions reported in May 2024, such as mold, pests, and problems with garbage/recycling storage, along with various paint/plaster deficiencies affecting walls, ceilings, and window frames.

These issues coincided with the building's most recent rodent inspection in May 2025, which documented rat activity, following similar findings in July 2023 and previous inspections in May 2024. The building's carbon monoxide safety systems have also required attention, with a detector-related complaint in May 2024, though no violations were ultimately issued. The property has a history of various code violations and maintenance challenges, including an open Class C violation from January 2023 regarding defective self-closing doors at the entrance to Apartment 1R, and past issues with fire egress safety.

Notable events include an emergency violation in January 2023 regarding the need for a proper screw cap for the cellar trap cleanout, and a bedbug incident in 2024 in one unit that was eradicated. The building's management has demonstrated some responsiveness to maintenance issues, as evidenced by the closure of multiple complaints through HPD inspections, though patterns of recurring problems suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and pest control. The property's bedbug reporting history shows minimal infestation occurrences in recent years, with only one reported case between 2023-2024 that was promptly addressed.
