2026 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

At 2026 Bergen Street, a two-family house built in 1910 in Crown Heights, there have been persistent and ongoing issues with heating and hot water services throughout the property since late 2024. The most recent cluster of complaints spans March 2025, with multiple reports submitted through both 311 and Housing Maintenance Code complaints, though HPD inspections found no violations in some cases, and in others, they were unable to gain access for inspection.

This pattern of heat and hot water issues has been documented repeatedly, with numerous complaints between December 2024 and March 2025, some of which were classified as emergencies. Apart from the heating issues, the building has experienced several other maintenance problems. In December 2024, Apartment 3 received violations for both cockroach infestation and excessively hot water temperatures.

Earlier violations from February 2022 in Apartment 2 highlighted multiple concerns, including peeling paint, a defective carbon monoxide detector, blocked fire egress, various plumbing issues, and rodent infestations. While many of these violations show as closed with certifying dates, the building's persistent heat and hot water problems remain the most pressing concern. The property has also undergone various safety inspections over the years, including rodent compliance checks in 2009 and 2010, both of which failed for unspecified reasons.
