1259 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213
The 6-unit, 4-story building at 1259 Bergen Street in Crown Heights, owned by Joseph Yaakovzadeh, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, particularly regarding building-wide heat and hot water systems. The most recent complaints in September 2024 indicate continued problems with the heating system, which have been a recurring theme with multiple complaints in 2021, 2022, and most recently in 2024.
The building also faced electrical challenges, with power outage incidents reported in July 2022 and December 2021, with at least one resulting in violations. Water issues have been documented, including heavy and slow leaks reported in July 2022. The property has several open violations related to external low pressure inspections for 2021, 2022, and 2023 that were not filed, as of September 2024.
Historical records show varied maintenance issues, including problems with self-closing doors (2019), inadequate electrical service to public areas (2022), and a specific hot water problem in apartment 3R (2019). The building has successfully maintained a pest-free environment in recent years, with no reported bedbug infestations between 2020-2025, and rodent inspections in 2024 and 2023 passed, despite some rat activity noted in 2018-2019. The building's age (constructed in 1906) and history of recurring heat/hot water issues suggest ongoing challenges with building systems, though recent rodent and bedbug reports indicate successful pest management.
