1256 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213
The three-story, five-unit residential building at 1256 Bergen Street in Crown Heights has a long history dating back to 1898, and is currently owned by Zena Williams. The property has undergone a conversion to Class A status and has been subject to regular housing maintenance code enforcement.
Notably, there has been consistent attention to bedbug reporting requirements, with recorded violations between 2021 and 2024 for not filing annual bedbug reports. However, the most recent bedbug report filed in May 2024 (covering November 2022 - October 2023) indicated no infested units, with similar findings in the 2021 report covering 2019-2020. The building has experienced recurring rodent-related issues over the years, particularly in 2023, when multiple inspections in June, July, and September revealed rat activity and required bait application.
More recent inspections in 2024 and July 2025 have shown improvement, with both receiving "Passed" results, suggesting that recent pest control efforts may be having a positive effect. The property appears to be actively managed, with violations being addressed and resolved over time, though the pattern of rodent inspections indicates this has been an ongoing challenge requiring multiple interventions. The most recent records from 2024-2025 show improved conditions in both bedbug and rodent management, with no current violations on record as of July 2025.
