1137 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The 16-unit, 4-story tenement building at 1137 Bergen Street in Crown Heights, owned by George Murray and constructed in 1911, is currently facing multiple maintenance challenges. As of June 2025, the building has active pest control issues, with two unsanitary condition complaints related to pests filed in June 2025, and an unresolved window guard safety issue from May 2025. The property has experienced recurring pest problems, with multiple complaints about rodent and insect infestations throughout 2024 and 2025, particularly affecting Apartment 13.
This unit has several open housing maintenance code violations from 2024, including issues with window repairs, infestation problems, and safety equipment (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors). Recent complaints also indicate problems with wall maintenance and sanitation, and there is an active Department of Health complaint regarding construction lead dust as of April 2025. The building has a documented history of maintenance issues, including plumbing and heating problems in December 2024, which were reportedly resolved.
Several housing complaints have been filed and investigated in the past year, with varying outcomes - some resulted in violations requiring correction, while others were closed without finding housing law violations. The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections in 2023-2025, with some showing rat activity and others passing inspection. There were two violations related to low-pressure inspection filings in 2023 that were later dismissed. Despite these ongoing challenges, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past four years.
