1345 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213

1345 Bergen Street in Crown Heights is a two-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1902 and currently owned by Modupe Badmus. The property has experienced consistent issues with its heating and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints filed throughout 2023 and early 2025, including recent complaints in March 2025 regarding both heat/hot water and plumbing issues.

While some of these complaints were investigated and closed, others were not able to be inspected due to access issues. The building has ongoing violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 to the present, and in late 2023, two specific violations were issued concerning inadequate heat supply in Apartment 1 and locked access to the building's heating system in the basement. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of heating system issues, with emergency complaints being filed regularly.

In addition to the heating problems, the building has experienced rodent activity as recent as 2014, with inspections showing both rat activity and periods of compliance in 2014 and 2018. While some heating issues were resolved temporarily, as evidenced by certain complaints being marked as corrected, the frequency and persistence of similar issues suggest ongoing challenges with the building's infrastructure. The most recent open violations include one from November 2023 regarding basement heating system access and an annual bedbug report violation from March 2024, indicating potential regulatory compliance concerns that have persisted over multiple years.
