          Item 1.   Security and Issuer.

                    This statement relates to the common stock, par
          value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Haven
          Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"). 
          The principal executive offices of the Company are locat-
          ed at 93-22 Jamaica Avenue, Woodhaven, New York 11421.  

          Item 2.   Identity and Background.

                    (a)-(c) and (f)  This statement is being filed
          by North Fork Bancorporation, Inc., a Delaware corpora-
          tion ("North Fork").  The principal executive offices of
          North Fork are located at 275 Broad Hollow Road, Mel-
          ville, New York 11747.

                    The principal business of North Fork is to
          provide, through its bank subsidiary North Fork Bank,
          comprehensive consumer and commercial banking services
          which include deposit and loan products, trust services,
          annuity sales, cash management and investments through
          its brokerage subsidiary.

                    Information as to each of the executive offi-
          cers and directors of North Fork is set forth on Schedule
          I hereto.  Each of such persons is a citizen of the
          United States.

                    (d)  During the last five years, neither North
          Fork nor, to the best of North Fork's knowledge, any of
          the individuals named in Schedule I hereto, has been
          convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic
          violations or similar misdemeanors).

                    (e)  During the last five years, neither North
          Fork nor, to the best of North Fork's knowledge, any of
          the individuals named in Schedule I hereto, has been a
          party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administra-
          tive body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of
          such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree
          or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohib-
          iting or mandating activities subject to, federal or
          state securities laws or finding any violation with
          respect to such laws.

          Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consider-   
                    ation.

                    North Fork has financed its acquisition of the
          shares of Common Stock, and currently intends to finance
          any future acquisition of shares of Common Stock, from
          available cash held by North Fork.  The aggregate amount
          of funds used to purchase the shares of Common Stock was
          approximately $4,877,218.

          Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.      

                    North Fork has acquired the shares of Common
          Stock because it believes the Common Stock is an attrac-
          tive investment, and because of consolidation activity in
          the thrift industry and the possibility that the Company
          may participate in such consolidation in a manner that
          will result in stockholders of the Company receiving a
          premium for their shares.  To date, North Fork has ac-
          quired 214,000 shares, or approximately 5.0%, of the
          outstanding Common Stock.

                    Pursuant to applicable federal law, North Fork
          may not acquire ownership or control of more than 5% of
          the outstanding voting shares of the Company without
          approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
          System (the "Federal Reserve").  North Fork anticipates
          filing a notice with the Federal Reserve, under Section
          4(c)(8) of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, and the
          relevant portions of Regulation Y promulgated thereunder,
          of its intention to acquire up to 9.9% of the outstanding
          voting shares of the Company, and to thereby indirectly
          acquire an interest in the Company's wholly owned subsid-
          iary savings bank, Columbia Federal Savings Bank and its
          wholly owned subsidiaries.

                    Subject to the receipt of the requisite regula-
          tory approvals, North Fork intends to purchase an aggre-
          gate of up to 9.9% of the outstanding Common Stock from
          time to time in the market or in privately negotiated
          transactions, subject to market conditions.   North Fork
          reserves the right not to purchase any additional shares
          of Common Stock and to sell some or all of the Common
          Stock that it currently owns or that it may acquire in
          the future.  

                    Further, the Chief Executive Officer of North
          Fork communicated on several occasions to the Chief
          Executive Officer of the Company North Fork's desire to
          initiate discussions with the Company regarding a possi-
          ble business combination between the two entities.  The
          Chief Executive Officer of the Company advised North Fork
          that the Company was not interested in pursuing such
          discussions.  

                    Except as set forth in this Item 4, neither
          North Fork nor, to the best of North Fork's knowledge,
          any of the individuals named in Schedule I hereto, has
          any plans or proposals which relate to or which would
          result in any of the actions specified in Clauses (a)
          through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

          Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

                   (a)-(b) By reason of its recent purchases of
          Common Stock, North Fork has sole voting and dispositive
          power with respect to 214,000 shares, or approximately
          5.0% of the shares of Common Stock reported by the Compa-
          ny to be outstanding as of May 10, 1996.   

                   Except as set forth above, neither North Fork
          nor, to the best of North Fork's knowledge, any of the
          individuals named in Schedule I hereto, owns any Common
          Stock.  

                  (c)  The following purchases of Common Stock were

          effected by North Fork during the past 60 days:

                    Trade     Settle    Number of   Price Per
                    Date      Date      Shares      Share
                    _______   _______   _________   _________

                    5/23/96   5/29/96   8,000       $26.125

                    The foregoing purchases were accomplished
          through brokerage transactions effected through The
          Nasdaq National Market.  Except as set forth above,
          neither North Fork nor, to the best of North Fork's
          knowledge, any of the individuals named in Schedule I
          hereto, has effected any transaction in the Common Stock
          during the past 60 days.

                    (d)  Inapplicable.

                    (e)  Inapplicable.

          Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or
                    Relationships with Respect to Securities of the
                    Issuer.                                        

                    Except as set forth in Item 4 hereof, neither
          North Fork nor, to the best of North Fork's knowledge,
          any of the individuals named in Schedule I hereto, has
          any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relation-
          ships (legal or otherwise), with any person with respect
          to any securities of the Company, including, but not
          limited to, transfer or voting of any securities,
          finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrange-
          ments, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of
          profits or losses, or the giving or withholding of prox-
          ies.

          Item 7.   Material to be filed as Exhibits.

                    None.

                                  SIGNATURE

                    After reasonable inquiry and to the best of its
          knowledge and belief, the undersigned certifies that the
          information set forth in this statement is true, complete
