256 Wyckoff Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217
The four-story, seven-unit tenement building at 256 Wyckoff Street in Gowanus, owned by Vesey Grant and dating back to 1897, has several notable compliance issues that require attention.
Most concerning is an open Housing Maintenance Code violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, continuing a pattern from previous years (2022 and 2021) when similar violations were recorded (though those were subsequently closed). The building's maintenance records also reveal multiple failures to file required safety inspections, with active violations as of June 2023 for not submitting the 2018 and 2021 external low pressure inspections.
A prior violation related to this issue was dismissed in June 2021, concerning the 2017 boiler inspection. Despite these violations, the most recent bedbug report filing for the period of November 2021 to October 2022 indicated no infested units, no eradication efforts required, and no instances of re-infestation, suggesting that while the reporting requirements have not been met, the actual pest situation may be stable.
