208 Van Buren Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

208 Van Buren Street is a 2-family house located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, built in 1899 and currently owned by Yaniv Yitzhok. The 2-story building has experienced several maintenance issues, particularly in mid-2018 when both apartments faced hot water supply problems - with violations recorded for inadequate hot water in the bathroom of the 4th floor apartment and in the kitchen of the 2nd floor apartment.

Additionally, in October 2018, there was a report of a sewage odor investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. During the same period, two complaints regarding adjacent buildings were filed but were found to have no warranted violations upon inspection. Despite these past issues, the building has shown consistent improvement in terms of overall maintenance.

There have been no further documented hot water issues since 2018, and most notably, the property has passed annual rodent inspections every year from 2019 through 2025, demonstrating effective pest management. The Department of Buildings records show several permits issued in September-October 2018 for unspecified work (permit type: PL and EW), though the specific nature of these permits is not detailed in the records. Since the 2018 violations, there has been a notable absence of repeated issues regarding hot water supply or sewage problems, and the building has maintained compliance with rodent control requirements for over five years.
