1901 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

1901 Bergen Street is a four-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Clarence White. The Crown Heights property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in December 2023, when multiple complaints were filed and subsequently inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). These issues included problems with paint/plaster on ceilings and walls, unsanitary conditions related to pests, and mold.

Most recently, in March 2024, violations were documented concerning lead-based paint hazards in apartment 3F, with similar issues noted in apartment 3R, along with complaints about broken ceramic floor tiles in the kitchen and visible mold conditions. The building's history shows recurring problems with pests, including a documented infestation in January 2020, though recent bedbug reports from 2024 indicate no infested units. There has also been an ongoing concern with moisture-related issues, as evidenced by a DOHMH complaint about standing water from August 2022 that resulted in a summons.

The property appears to have had some structural vibrations or shaking issues reported in December 2023, though inspectors were unable to gain access to fully investigate this complaint. The building's maintenance record includes an active violation from November 2019 regarding the failure to file an annual boiler inspection report from 2017, and past rodent inspections (2014-2017) consistently failed for unspecified reasons. While many of the recent violations have been closed, including various paint and mold issues, the building continues to experience periodic maintenance challenges that affect resident quality of life.
