1546 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The 2-family house at 1546 Bergen Street in Crown Heights, currently owned by Fatoumata Sabaly, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water in 2024 and 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed through HPD, though some reports indicated restoration of services during inspections.

The building has also faced persistent electrical issues, with complaints about both lighting and outlet problems in early 2025, and multiple violations for inadequate plaster repair and painting in various areas, including ceilings and walls. Inspections in March 2024 revealed several critical issues in Apartment 2, including the need to address pest infestations (both roaches and mice), while violations from October 2023 indicated problems with a handrail at the stairway, roof leaks, and various plaster and paint deficiencies.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of unsatisfactory living conditions, with multiple open violations relating to water damage, pest control, and safety features. In addition to the housing maintenance issues, a rat inspection in October 2014 confirmed rodent activity, suggesting a long-term pest management challenge. While some violations have been closed following repairs, the frequency and nature of complaints indicate ongoing maintenance challenges that impact resident comfort and safety.
