562 Grand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238
The 4-story, 3-unit Old Law Tenement building at 562 Grand Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Jacob Lunger and constructed in 1931, has encountered several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there are ongoing violations related to the annual bedbug reporting requirement, with open violations dating back to 2021-2024. The building has also experienced persistent rat activity, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 indicating continued rodent presence, though some compliance inspections have passed.
In 2019, multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding mold, plumbing issues (specifically sink problems), and non-emergency flooring concerns, leading to violations. Notable safety concerns were documented during inspections in 2019, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in the third-floor apartment, encumbered public hallways, damaged plaster surfaces, and visible mold in a bathroom. More recently, the building has been cited for failure to complete mandatory low-pressure inspections from 2018 through 2023, with violations issued in 2024.
The most recent documentation shows one open violation related to external low-pressure inspection requirements as of September 2024. The property has undergone several inspections for rodent activity between 2020 and 2025, with initial inspections consistently showing activity. The building's location in a historically diverse neighborhood like Crown Heights, combined with its age and the pattern of violations, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that affect both safety and resident comfort.
