75 Grand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The 19-unit, 4-story building at 75 Grand Avenue in Clinton Hill, owned by Shalom Rabkin, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since its construction in 2005. Most notably, there have been multiple problems with water leaks, including a significant heavy flow incident in June 2023 and a slow leak issue in October 2023, with similar problems reported as far back as 2020. The building has also faced challenges with ventilation and air quality, particularly in 2024, when multiple complaints were filed and responded to by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH). A concerning pattern of rodent activity has been documented, with the most recent inspection in September 2024 resulting in a passing grade, though previous inspections noted rat activity and required bait application in 2021.

The building's regulatory history shows both resolved and ongoing concerns. In 2024, violations were recorded regarding bedbug reporting requirements, and in July 2023, several violations were documented including improper notice postings related to carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detector requirements. While a 2022 inspection raised questions about the certificate of occupancy, this complaint was ultimately unsubstantiated. The building has maintained an active bedbug monitoring record since 2020, with no reported infestations.

Recent inspections and complaints suggest ongoing attention to building systems and maintenance requirements, though many issues have been addressed through proper channels. The property has also experienced periodic problems with garbage storage, general cleaning maintenance, and some interior repair needs, as evidenced by various HPD complaints and violations. The most pressing recent concerns involve air quality and ventilation systems, with multiple complaints filed in 2024, though these have been addressed through official channels. The building's maintenance history shows a consistent pattern of addressing issues through proper inspection and violation processes, with many problems being resolved through corrective actions despite their recurring nature.
