1346 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The four-story, 16-unit tenement building at 1346 Bergen Street in Crown Heights, owned by Ismene Speliotis, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past two years, with the most recent complaint filed in February 2025 currently remaining unresolved. Between 2024-2025, there have been numerous heat and hot water complaints, many of which resulted in HPD violations. Specifically, during November 2024, violations were issued regarding hot water supply in apartment 3B and access to the heating system, while September 2024 violations were issued for hot water issues in apartment 3A and boiler room access concerns.

The building has also accrued multiple active violations for failure to file required external low-pressure inspections between 2019-2023. Other notable issues include a pattern of rat activity as documented in inspections from 2022 and 2021, though previous inspections in 2018 and 2016 passed. The building's management has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2020 through 2025, showing zero infested units in the most recent report (February 2025).

There were two complaints about illegal conversions/uses of residential space in 2021 and 2023, though inspections were unable to gain access both times. The property has also faced some maintenance challenges, with violations in 2025 regarding a locked boiler room door and hot water issues in apartment 3B. While the building's situation shows ongoing concerns primarily centered around heating and water systems, there have been no documented bedbug infestations in recent years, and the property has conducted necessary permits for plumbing work as evidenced by records from 2019 and 2020.
