617 Grand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The three-family house at 617 Grand Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Heath Hoglund, has experienced multiple maintenance issues since 2021, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in May 2021. During this period, the building faced various plumbing, electrical, and water-related challenges, including two separate water leak incidents (one involving damp spots and another involving slow leaks) that were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

While no violations were found for these water-related issues, inspections did reveal violation(s) related to paint/plaster conditions on both walls and ceilings. Additional maintenance concerns during this period included an electrical issue with outlets/switches and a steam pipe/riser problem, though no violations were issued for these complaints.

A standing water complaint made to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) in May 2021 was investigated and found to have no violations. It's noteworthy that all these complaints were addressed and closed within a reasonable time frame, typically within one to two weeks of being reported, which suggests timely response to tenant concerns, though the frequency and variety of issues during this particular period may have affected resident comfort and safety. Since these documented incidents, there have been no further complaints or service requests reported against the property through October 2023.
