Augrented Insights Report for 631 Grand Avenue

The 8-unit, 4-story building at 631 Grand Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Ben Cavicchio, has experienced significant maintenance and pest control issues since records began in 2019. Most notably, there are ongoing rodent problems, with inspections in 2025 consistently showing rat activity, including recent bait application in March 2025 and compliance inspection results in June 2025.

The building has also faced several maintenance challenges, particularly in apartment 3L, which has multiple open violations from 2022 related to water leaks, pest infestation, and various repair needs including bathroom fixtures, tiles, and wall conditions. In 2023, multiple complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions, plumbing issues, and general maintenance problems, though these complaints were closed due to inability of the Department of Housing Preservation and Development to access the property for inspection.

A recent Department of Buildings violation was issued in 2024 regarding low pressure inspection filing requirements, though this was subsequently dismissed. While the building has maintained a clean bedbug record with no infestations reported in the past seven filings, the persistent rodent issues and unresolved maintenance violations, particularly those affecting habitability in 3L, represent the most significant current concerns for residents.
