1772 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The 5-story, 8-unit building at 1772 Bergen Street in Crown Heights, owned by Moses Englander and constructed in 1901, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly between 2020 and 2023. During this period, there were multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions, including pests and mold, with particular concentration of complaints in late 2022 through early 2023. Notably, there were three separate unsanitary condition complaints in January 2023 alone, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) did not result in any violations being issued.

The building has maintained regular compliance with rodent inspections, passing all inspections between 2018 and 2023, including a recent inspection in August 2023. However, there were two documented rodent-related complaints in 2023 (March and July), with only the July complaint resulting in an inspection that found no violations. In March 2023, specific violations were issued for apartment 3B regarding water leakage and damaged plastered surfaces in the bathroom, though these were subsequently addressed and certified as corrected by the end of March 2023.

Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations from 2020 through 2025, with all annual bedbug reports indicating zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. The most recent bedbug report filing in May 2025 continues this trend of confirmed non-infestation. The property has also received proper closure of various violations, and while there were some access issues for inspectors in 2020 and 2023 (as noted in the complaints), these have been exceptions rather than the norm. The building's maintenance record shows regular filing of the required bedbug reports, though there were periods where violations for filing requirements were documented in 2022 and early 2023, these were subsequently addressed in later inspections.
