The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 104-110 Avenue C, Bayonne, NJ 07002.

(b) Ken’s Marine Service, 116 East 22nd Street, Bayonne, New Jersey 07002
(c) Owner and President of Ken’s Marine Service, an environmental remediation service company
(d) During the last five years, Mr. Poesl has not been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).
(e) During the last five years, Mr. Poesl has not been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction resulting in such person being subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violations with respect to such laws.
(f) Mr. Poesl is a citizen of the United States.

Item 3.	Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
Mr. Poesl acquired the shares with $ 62,202.00 of personal funds.

Item 4.	Purpose of Transaction
The shares owned by Mr. Poesl were acquired for personal investment.
Mr. Poesl is a member of The Committee for Sound Corporate Governance (the “Committee”), which includes eight current members of the Board of Directors of BCB Bancorp, Inc. (the “Issuer”), shareholders of the Issuer, and prospective nominees for director of the Issuer. The members of the Committee believe that the other members of the Issuer’s Board have failed to act in accordance with sound corporate governance principles. Specifically, the Committee believes that at the direction of the other directors, the Board has acted arbitrarily regarding its consideration of important matters. The Committee intends to propose an alternative slate of directors at the Issuer’s next annual meeting of shareholders.
Other than the foregoing, Mr. Poesl does not have any current plans or proposals of the type described in items (a) through (j) of Item 4. As a member of the Committee, Mr. Poesl reserves the right to take or not take any action deemed to be in the best interests of the Committee, including changing its intention as set forth in this Item 4.

Item 5.	Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Mr. Poesl disclaims beneficial ownership of shares of the Issuer owned by other Committee members. Prior to February 13, 2004, Mr. Poesl beneficially owned 102,323 shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer. On February 13, 2004, Mr. Poesl exercised stock options to purchase 5,223 shares of the Common Stock. As of the date of this filing, Mr. Poesl beneficially owns 109,143 shares of Common Stock, which includes 999 shares owned by companies of which Mr. Poesl is the sole owner, and 1,597 shares owned by Mr. Poesl’s spouse and children.

Item 6.	Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
Other than stock option agreements evidencing stock options granted to Mr. Poesl, and except that Mr. Poesl has agreed to be a member of the Committee for Sound Corporate Governance for the purpose set forth in Item 4 above, Mr. Poesl presently has no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships with any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to the transfer or voting of any shares of Common Stock, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.

Item 7.	Material to Be Filed as Exhibits
