626 Grand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

626 Grand Avenue is a 3-story, 5-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 in Crown Heights, currently owned by M.m. Brooklyn, Llc. The building has experienced several significant issues over recent years, most notably an open Housing Maintenance Code violation from November 2022 regarding missing or defective window guards throughout the public areas, which represents a safety concern.

Multiple open violations from the same November 2022 inspection relate to inadequate safety notifications, including missing smoke detector requirements, gas leak procedures, current registration number, and carbon monoxide detection requirements - all of which are critical for resident safety. Additionally, there was a water leak complaint filed in June 2022 that took several months to investigate and close. The building has demonstrated concerning rodent activity, with the most recent inspection in April 2024 showing "Rat Activity," though this was preceded by a "Passed" inspection in May 2023.

On a more positive note, the building has maintained a zero infestation record in its bedbug reporting for the past three reporting periods (2021-2022, 2022-2023, and 2023-2024), with no units reported as infested, eradicated, or re-infested. The property has worked to address some violations, as evidenced by the April 2024 bedbug report indicating no violations for that period, though multiple class A violations from 2022 remain open. While some violations appear to have been addressed over time, the building's record shows a pattern of regulatory compliance challenges that have persisted through multiple inspection cycles.
