Augrented Insights Report for 1338 Bergen Street

At 1338 Bergen Street, a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building in Crown Heights, the property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding heat and sanitation. The building has a significant history of heat and hot water complaints, with multiple reports between 2025 and 2024, some of which were categorized as emergencies. Additionally, the property has faced ongoing rodent control challenges, with multiple "Rat Activity" reports and bait applications between 2024 and 2025.

Recent inspections in 2024 identified several violations requiring attention, including issues with building security (missing locks, defective door frames) and fire escape maintenance. The building owner, Scott Roserthal, faces two active ECB violations from 2024 totaling $15,000 in penalties related to failure to comply with previous orders from 2022. Historical records show various safety concerns, including electrical issues in 2022 (with violations for defective wiring and equipment), a boiler problem in 2021, and tenant safety violations in 2024.

The property has undergone multiple inspections for rodent activity, showing a persistent pest control issue, while bedbug reports from 2022-2024 indicate no infestations. Recent maintenance complaints (March 2025) regarding heat, plumbing, and door issues suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep. The building has also experienced inspection failures for other reasons in recent compliance checks, indicating potential concerns with general maintenance and safety standards. Despite these ongoing issues, many previous violations have been resolved, though their recurrences suggest persistent underlying problems with building systems and maintenance practices.
