243 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

243 Bergen Street is a three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Boerum Hill, constructed in 1859 and currently owned by Marcia Mason. The building has had several minor Housing Maintenance Code violations over the past five years, with the most recent occurring in April 2024, relating to the failure to file the annual bedbug report.

However, this violation appears to be more administrative in nature, as subsequent filings have confirmed no bedbug infestations, with the most recent report from March 2025 showing zero infested or re-infested units and confirming all units had been properly maintained with no need for eradication measures. Prior to this, similar bedbug reporting violations were issued in 2022, 2021, and 2020, though these were promptly addressed in subsequent filings showing no infestations.

The building's only other documented violation occurred in April 2019 (classified as a B violation), concerning inadequate exterior lighting at the front entranceway, which was resolved by the end of May 2019. Despite the pattern of bedbug report violations from 2020 through 2024, it's notable that once the proper reporting processes were established, the building has maintained a clean record with no actual infestations detected. The property appears to be generally well-maintained, with the only significant issues being related to administrative compliance rather than structural or safety concerns.
