2099 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 2099 Bergen Street in Crown Heights, owned by Seven Guys, has experienced several significant events since its construction in 2006. The property has faced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed between November and December 2018, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Notably, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) reported being unable to gain access to apartments during inspections for some of these complaints.

More recently, the building has been subject to three open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports in accordance with HPD rules, with inspection dates ranging from 2022 to 2024. Previous violations from 2021, now closed, included safety concerns in the boiler room regarding defective self-closing doors, accumulation of refuse in the cellar stairs, and issues with fire retardant ceiling repair, along with various maintenance problems in Apartment 1B that required plaster and paint repairs. The building's inspection history reveals a pattern of maintenance issues, particularly concerning the heating system and bedbug reporting compliance.

While some violations have been addressed and closed, the open bedbug reporting violations from 2022-2024 suggest ongoing regulatory compliance challenges. The property's relatively recent construction date (2006) contrasts with the impression of persistent maintenance issues, particularly during the 2018 heating system problems that affected multiple units. The building's three-unit configuration and its location in Crown Heights may influence market perceptions, particularly given the documented history of heating system problems and regulatory compliance issues, though it's worth noting that the bedbug reporting violations do not necessarily indicate active infestations, as the most recent reporting period (2019-2020) showed zero infested units.
