Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

942 Bergen Street is a four-story, three-unit old law tenement building located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, built in 1931 and currently owned by Jerry Young. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections in 2023-2025, with all inspections passing, though bait was applied in June 2022. The property has shown consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2024, with zero infested units or eradications reported in recent filings.

The building has experienced several maintenance and safety concerns, particularly in 2022, when multiple complaints were filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding various issues including unsanitary garbage storage, a non-functional fire escape, door problems, and missing signage. Most notably, there has been a pattern of inspection access issues, with inspectors unable to gain entry during multiple recent complaints and violations, including five complaints in 2024 related to work without permits and certificate of occupancy concerns. Two violations from 2018 concerning emergency lighting and self-closing doors were resolved without penalties. Despite these persistent access issues and various maintenance concerns over the years, most recent inspections and compliance reports suggest improvement, with regular rodent inspections passing and no new bedbug infestations reported. The building has maintained an active response to HPD requirements, though access issues remain a recurring challenge for inspections.
