1051 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
This Crown Heights four-unit residential building, owned by Dorothy Wade and constructed in 1931, has experienced significant recent challenges, particularly in 2023-2024. Most notably, there are active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations related to illegal conversions of the property, with various fines totaling over $140,000 for unauthorized SRO/furnished room conversions on the second floor and transient use violations on the first floor.
Multiple safety concerns have been documented, including violations for inadequate fire alarm systems, missing sprinklers, and insufficient egress requirements for the allegedly converted spaces. The building has also undergone rodent-related inspections showing recurring rat activity between 2022 and 2025, though recent inspections in March 2025 passed.
Additional recent issues include a mold complaint in 2024 that was investigated but resulted in no violations, and a building-wide heat/hot water complaint in 2021 that was promptly resolved. The property has maintained its bedbug reporting requirements, showing no current infestations as of 2024, and notably has current active violations for failing to maintain proper bedbug reporting systems from 2021 through 2024. The building's recent history suggests ongoing challenges with building code compliance and maintenance, particularly regarding unauthorized conversions and pest management, though some improvements in rodent control have been noted in recent inspections.
