1340 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213
1340 Bergen Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 1911 and currently owned by Scott Rosenthal. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years, with the most recent being a heat and hot water outage in August 2024, which was temporarily resolved according to tenant reports. The building has a documented history of pest problems, with multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pest infestations between 2021 and 2022, including rodent activity that prompted several baiting interventions.
In late 2023, the building received multiple violation notices requiring repairs and maintenance work, including issues with windows, walls, yard conditions, and mailbox systems, though most of these violations were certified as resolved by early 2024. Additional concerns have included a lead paint hazard identified in December 2022 in Apartment 6's kitchen ceiling, which remains open as of 2025. The building experienced multiple system inspections and violations in 2022 regarding fire safety, electrical systems, and housekeeping standards, particularly during a period of reported illegal activity. The property has maintained a bedbug-free status according to recent filings from 2023-2024, though there was some confusion in 2022 regarding an annual bedbug report that was cited as a violation.
The Department of Buildings records indicate various inspection categories including tenant safety, electrical enforcement, and unauthorized work complaints, with most issues being resolved through formal violation processes and orders to correct. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of access issues during inspections, particularly in 2022 when inspectors were unable to gain entry for several complaints. While many violations have been addressed through formal correction processes, including fines and penalties, the recurring nature of some issues, particularly relating to pests and heating systems, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. Recent tenant safety inspections in 2024 resulted in Oath Violations being served, though most previous ECB violations from 2022 regarding fire stopping and electrical equipment were resolved or had limited remaining balances.
