2044 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

This 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building located at 2044 Bergen Street in Crown Heights, owned by Dwayne Cordice, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, from March to June 2025, there were multiple complaints and violations related to unsanitary conditions, including pests and mold, as well as issues with paint/plaster on ceilings and walls. The building has been subject to several emergency complaints during this period, particularly regarding pests and safety concerns with fire escapes.

In late 2024, significant violations were documented in Apartment 2D, including problems with mold, window repairs, and radiator maintenance, many of which were eventually closed but appear to have persisted through multiple inspection dates. The building has a history of regulatory non-compliance, evidenced by multiple Department of Buildings complaints and violations. In 2019, there were complaints regarding building stability, and in 2023-2024, violations were issued for failing to file required inspection reports.

An active ECB violation from 2019 mentions exterior maintenance issues, while several complaints between 2019-2021 regarding illegal conversions could not be investigated due to access issues. While the building's bedbug reporting history shows minimal infestation concerns since 2021, the persistent pattern of maintenance issues, especially in recent months, suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep. The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple violation notices requiring corrections, indicating a pattern of delayed maintenance responses despite the issuance of violations requiring remediation.
