229 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

This three-story, 1859 Boerum Hill building at 229 Bergen Street, owned by Matthew Foulds, has consistently faced regulatory challenges over the past several years. Most notably, the property has multiple open violations related to unfiled annual bedbug reports, with citations issued in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024.

These ongoing violations indicate a recurring issue with compliance to the Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regarding pest management documentation, though the reports do not necessarily indicate an active bedbug infestation. On the building's regulatory record, there is one Department of Buildings complaint from September 2019 related to professional certification compliance, which was closed without any violations being found upon inspection in October 2019. The property has also undergone several permitted work activities, with multiple permits issued in 2018 and 2019.

These include plumbing work (two permits issued in May 2019), and alteration work (two permits issued in July and October 2018). All permit records show proper issuance, suggesting compliance with building code requirements for these specific works, though the nature of the permitted work is not detailed in the provided data. The building's ownership and management appear to be struggling with maintaining compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, as evidenced by the pattern of violations spanning multiple years, though the exact reasons for these ongoing violations are not specified in the available data.
