1195 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The three-story, two-family house at 1195 Bergen Street in Crown Heights, built in 1894 and currently owned by Jovanni Golston, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most significant being water-related problems. Between June and December 2023, there were multiple reports of water leaks, including three separate incidents of heavy flow and two of slow leaks, with one incident from June 2023 resulting in violations being issued.

The building has also faced various other maintenance challenges, including pest issues, problems with cabinets, and paint/plaster issues affecting both walls and ceilings during the summer of 2023. More recently, in late 2023 and into 2024, two additional service requests were made - one concerning a skylight on the outside of the building which was deemed an emergency situation, and another regarding a slow water leak that was classified as non-emergency.

Notably, all reported issues have been inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though the presence of violations in some cases and the pattern of water-related complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. While all complaints have been officially closed, the historical pattern of issues, particularly regarding water leaks, may be of interest to potential tenants evaluating the building's maintenance history.
