255 Columbia Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

255 Columbia Street is a 7-story, 13-unit residential building constructed in 1931 and currently operated as a Class A condominium. The building has experienced several significant events, particularly between 2020-2023, with the most notable issues occurring during construction work in early 2020 that reportedly caused building shaking and structural concerns, resulting in a partial vacate order being issued on March 1, 2020.

This period also saw multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints regarding sidewalk shedding and construction work, though these were subsequently resolved, including a stop work order that was fully rescinded in September 2020. The building has faced several violations requiring attention, including a failure to file the FISP Cycle 9B technical report by the February 2023 deadline (dismissed April 2024) and a serious code compliance issue related to extensive fire and water damage affecting the terrace (active as of 2020).

Two violations from 2020 concerning certification of hazardous conditions were eventually dismissed in 2022. On a positive note, recent bedbug reports from December 2023 and December 2024 show no infestations, with zero units reporting issues in both annual filings, suggesting effective maintenance in this regard. While the building has experienced multiple compliance issues, most have been resolved or dismissed, though the active violation regarding terrace damage remains a notable concern as of the latest available information.
