1119 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216
1119 Bergen Street is a 4-story, 9-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, constructed in 1883 and currently owned by Shmiel Berkowitz. The building has experienced recurring issues with unsanitary conditions, particularly pests and mold, with two significant complaints filed in September 2022 and one in July 2020. The property has multiple open and closed violations on record, including several recent issues of concern.
Most notably, there are multiple active Department of Buildings violations (as of 2024) regarding failure to file annual low-pressure inspections from 2018 through 2023, and an open Housing Maintenance Code violation from 2022 related to obstructed egress due to construction materials in public hall stairs. The building's maintenance history shows some improvements, with recent bedbug reports (2022-2024) indicating no recorded infestations or eradication efforts. However, there have been challenges with rodent activity, as evidenced by failed inspections in 2024 and 2022.
Historical violations from 2008 show various safety concerns including obstructed egress, fire safety issues, and electrical hazards, though many of these appear to have been addressed or closed by 2018. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, showing zero infested units in its last several filings. The most recent inspections show passing results for rodent inspections in early 2025, suggesting some improvement in pest control, while noting a rat activity finding in February 2024 and a failed compliance inspection for other reasons in March 2024.
