256 Adelphi Street, Brooklyn, NY 11205
256 Adelphi Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, dating back to 1852 and currently owned by Adam Shott. The property has several notable violations and incidents on record, with the most pressing being four consecutive years (2021-2024) of open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations.
These violations, categorized as Class A, suggest ongoing non-compliance with housing maintenance code requirements. In 2020, there was a complaint regarding stair conditions that resulted in an HPD inspection, but the department was unable to gain access for inspection.
The building also experienced a significant incident in 2022 involving unlawful construction work, where it was determined that work continued despite an active stop work order issued in 2013; this violation was resolved with no penalties imposed. The building's documented history shows a pattern of regulatory non-compliance, particularly regarding pest management reporting requirements, though no recent structural or safety concerns have been recorded since the stair-related complaint in 2020.
