1964 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

Located in Crown Heights, 1964 Bergen Street is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Richard Bramwell. The property has experienced recurring heating system issues, with complaints about heat and hot water in both 2020 and 2023, though the most recent complaint was resolved quickly with no violations found.

Between 2022 and 2024, the building underwent several inspections and received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations and complaints, including issues with self-closing doors (both in the boiler room and bulkhead areas) in July-September 2023, and a significant backflow preventor issue identified in March 2023 that remains active with a penalty balance of $3,125. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug report compliance over the past several years, with all reports (from 2019-2025) indicating zero infested or re-infested units, though a violation was issued in 2023 for failure to file an annual bedbug report, which was subsequently certified as corrected in October 2023.

In 2018, an inspection of unit 4B revealed multiple safety concerns that were promptly addressed, including issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, electrical switches, and inadequate electrical service to fixtures. The building has experienced various maintenance issues documented through 311 service requests, including complaints about flooring, walls, and stairs in early 2022, though these were generally resolved through inspections and corrections. While the property has had its share of maintenance issues, most recent violations and complaints have been addressed promptly, with the exception of the currently active backflow preventor violation from 2023.
