256 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217
The four-story, eight-unit tenement at 256 Bergen Street in Boerum Hill, owned by Noah Kaplan, has a noteworthy history of regulatory compliance issues, particularly regarding bedbug reporting. Since 2021, there have been four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations (2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024) related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations, and these violations remain open as of October 2023.
More recently, there was a non-emergency complaint filed in September 2023 regarding a refrigerator issue that HPD could not inspect upon their visit, with the case being closed in July 2024. Additionally, the building faced a Department of Buildings violation in September 2024 for failing to file the 2023 external low pressure inspection, though this violation was dismissed by July 2025 through CIANOW CRM.
The building's history of bedbug report violations suggests ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance, while the recent appliance issue indicates potential maintenance concerns. The oldest documented violation dates back to 2021, marking a pattern of non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over multiple years. While the external low pressure inspection violation was ultimately dismissed, its occurrence reflects some oversight in safety equipment maintenance and regulatory adherence.
