1264 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The two-family house at 1264 Bergen Street in Crown Heights, owned by the Estate Of Sylvia Edmondson, has experienced significant maintenance challenges over the past two years (2023-2025). The building has documented persistent issues with water-related problems, including multiple complaints about heavy water leaks, water supply issues, and mold conditions, particularly impacting Apartment 2A and Apartment 3.

Of particular concern are several open violations from January 2024 in Apartment 2A relating to inadequate heat supply, excessive hot water temperature, visible mold conditions (in both the second room and bathroom), and issues with plaster surfaces and roof leaks. Earlier complaints from late 2023 had already indicated similar problems, including mold and plumbing issues, though many of these were closed without violations being issued. The building has also faced recurring heating system challenges, with emergency heat/hot water complaints filed in early 2024.

While rodent inspections have been conducted regularly, with the most recent passing inspection in July 2025, past records from 2021 show multiple instances of bait application, indicating previous rodent activity that required management attention. The property's maintenance history suggests ongoing infrastructure and maintenance challenges, particularly in terms of water management and heating systems, though the most recent rodent inspections indicate improved conditions in this area. The building's age (1898) and classification as a 2-family house contribute to its unique maintenance needs, with the majority of the documented issues affecting Apartment 2A directly.
