226 Van Buren Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
226 Van Buren Street is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Kitashia Mcgonigle. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring between March and April 2024, when multiple emergency complaints were filed and subsequently investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).
During this period, violations were issued for mold (unsanitary condition), window frame and pane issues, and a slow water leak, while others were closed without violations. More recent violations, as of April 2024, include issues in Apartment B2 requiring repairs to plastered surfaces, water leaks, and window problems, along with an outstanding requirement to file an annual bedbug report.
The building has undergone several rodent inspections, with the most recent in June 2025 resulting in a "Passed" rating, though there were issues noted in late 2023 and early 2024 requiring bait application and compliance follow-up. The property has shown some improvement in maintenance and pest control as of 2025, with multiple passed inspections, though the persistent bedbug reporting violation and history of plumbing and mold issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
