188 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

188 Bergen Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, constructed in 1860 and currently owned by Joshua Manson. The property has consistently registered bedbug report violations over the past four years (2021-2024), with the most recent violation occurring in April 2024, though the owner has since complied by submitting the required bedbug report for the period ending October 2023, which indicated zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and no re-infestations.

These recurring violations, while now resolved, suggest previous oversight in maintaining compliance with the Housing Maintenance Code requirements. The building's history also includes a Department of Buildings permit issued in September 2022 for exterior work (permit type EW, job number 340866183), which suggests some level of maintenance or improvement was undertaken during that period.

While the permit was properly issued and followed through, no specific details about the nature of the work are provided in the available data. It's worth noting that the building's age and classification as an "Old Law Tenement" might inherently come with some challenges, though the recent bedbug reporting compliance indicates improved attention to regulatory requirements.
