Augrented Insights Report for 255 Berry Street

The building at 255 Berry Street in Williamsburg, owned by Mark Hoffman, is a 5-story, 14-unit residential property constructed in 2013. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent being a rodent/insect/garbage complaint filed with DOHMH in June 2025 that is currently under investigation. In 2024-2025, there were violations related to food safety standards, including bare hands in contact with food.

The property has documented plumbing-related issues, including water supply complaints in 2024 and multiple water leak investigations in 2021, though most of these complaints were resolved without violations being issued. The building's maintenance history reveals some recurring themes, particularly regarding water-related problems and heating systems. In 2021, there were multiple heating/hot water complaints, and in 2023, there were inspections related to flooring, mold, and water leaks.

The Department of Buildings records show several compliance and violation issues, including two "Illegal Commercial Use" investigations in 2020 and a notable violation regarding illegal hotel rooms in 2019. The elevator system has also been flagged for defects in 2019, and there was a requirement to submit parking structure observations in 2024. While the building has maintained a consistent record of submitting bedbug reports showing no infestations (with the most recent reports from 2024-2025 showing zero infested units), an environmental control board violation in 2021 did indicate problems with unauthorized work and building maintenance that required resolution. The most recent inspection results, however, have shown improvements in pest control, with a passed rodent inspection in 2019 and no reported bedbug issues in subsequent years.
