Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

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.

Good Cause Eviction

Is 626 Grand Avenue covered by Good Cause Eviction?
