97 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY 11205

At 97 Grand Street in Clinton Hill, an 8-story building constructed in 2007 with 62 units, significant recent maintenance issues have emerged. In May 2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding a slow water leak, ceiling problems (paint/plaster), and mold issues, all of which resulted in HPD inspection attempts that could not be completed due to lack of access. Other recent concerns include door/window issues in multiple units, and earlier this year, there were plumbing problems involving water supply that also could not be inspected.

The building has experienced recurring problems with access during HPD inspections, which has become a pattern, as evidenced by multiple complaints between 2024-2025, including a heat/hot water issue from October 2024. The building has a documented history of elevator service concerns, with the most recent complaint in March 2025 being listed as active regarding single device operation with no alternate service. Numerous Housing Maintenance Code violations have been recorded, particularly affecting apartment 7A in 2024, which underwent multiple repairs including water leak resolutions, window frame issues, and problems with fire door compliance.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs and passed recent rodent inspections in 2022 and 2023, though a rat activity issue was noted in 2012. Structural and safety requirements have been addressed through various violation resolutions, including exterior facade maintenance and required certificate postings in public areas, with the most recent inspection in October 2024 noting cracked brick masonry on the east elevation. There's also an active building violation related to failing to file a 2024 FISP Cycle 9C Technical Report.
