1800 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 1800 Bergen Street in Crown Heights, owned by Andy Dorant, has experienced several maintenance challenges since its construction in 2003. Most notably, there has been an ongoing pattern of rodent-related issues, with the most recent cluster of complaints occurring between August and October 2023, involving multiple rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents.

The building's management has consistently responded to these complaints, with inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) in April 2025 and October 2023 resulting in "Passed" inspections, though these followed prior complaints about rat sightings and conditions. The property has three open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 through 2024, all relating to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations. These violations remain unresolved as of the latest available data.

Most recently, in 2025, there has been a significant safety-related development involving a partial vacate order issued for the rear easement at 438 Ralph Avenue, due to concerns about a compromised exterior wall that created a no-occupancy zone within 10 feet of the affected area. While the building has undergone multiple rodent inspections since 2018, most recent inspections have shown improvements, with the May 2025 rodent inspection passing. The regular monitoring and inspection history suggests active management of maintenance issues, though the persistent rodent complaints and open bedbug report violations indicate ongoing challenges in these areas.
