Augrented Insights Report for 1661 Grand Avenue

1661 Grand Avenue is a 6-story, 64-unit residential building constructed in 1927, currently owned by Elson Brann. The building has experienced numerous maintenance and service issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns centering around water supply problems, heat and hot water system failures, and mold. Between April and June 2025, there were multiple complaints related to water supply (including heavy flow leaks), heat/hot water issues (both building-wide and apartment-specific), and unsanitary conditions including mold, with several HPD inspections unable to gain proper access for evaluation.

The building currently has several active violations regarding energy efficiency reporting, including failure to file benchmarking reports and display energy efficiency scores as required by the Administrative Code. The property has a documented history of maintenance challenges dating back to at least 2020-2021, including issues with unauthorized work, boiler problems, and various building systems concerns. Recent inspections show improvements in certain areas, such as rodent inspections passing in 2025, although there have been multiple instances of rat activity recorded through 2024.

The building underwent significant violations correction in December 2024 for Apartment 4D, addressing multiple housing maintenance code issues including mold remediation, cabinet repairs, and painting requirements. Additionally, there are several Department of Environmental Control Board violations related to failure to comply with commissioner orders and backflow prevention requirements from 2020-2021, with incurred penalties totaling $6,750. The building's management has been generally responsive to violations once properly documented, though access issues have hindered multiple inspection attempts in recent months.
