AI summary · updated June 2026

The 6-unit, 4-story building at 1087 Bergen Street in Crown Heights, owned by Carmen Taylor and constructed in 1931, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges throughout 2023-2025. Most notably, there have been recurring issues with heat and hot water, with complaints filed in February and May 2025, though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct inspections in response to these and several other complaints. The building has multiple open violations related to safety and maintenance from 2023-2024, including issues with fire safety doors, emergency notifications, and bedbug reporting requirements. In terms of infrastructure, the building's boiler system has shown concerning defects, with active violations from January 2024 regarding soot buildup and various maintenance needs, along with multiple unfiled external low-pressure inspection violations from 2018-2023.

Recent inspection data reveals persistent concerns about sanitation, including multiple reports of unsanitary conditions and pest-related issues in 2025 alone. While rodent inspections in 2025 showed passing results, previous inspections in 2024 and 2023 indicated rat activity. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of inspection access issues, with multiple complaints being closed without resolution due to inability to inspect. The property has had some violations resolved through the years, such as a 2023 door/window issue, but many current violations remain open as of 2025. The building's age and documented history suggest ongoing maintenance challenges typical of older structures, though the frequency and nature of recent complaints indicate persistent issues affecting resident comfort and safety.
