The three-unit building at 1557 East New York Avenue in Brownsville, owned by Agatha Grant and constructed in 2006, has experienced persistent maintenance issues, particularly regarding pest control. Between December 2024 and June 2025 alone, there have been multiple complaints and violations related to unsanitary conditions and pests, with some complaints resulting in violations being issued by HPD.
The building has two open violations from 2023-2024 related to not filing the required annual bedbug report, though the 2020-2021 report indicated no bedbug infestations. More recently, between June 2025 and July 2025, there were several emergency and non-emergency complaints related to heat/hot water issues, cooking gas problems, and wall maintenance needs.
