421 Grand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The six-unit, four-story building at 421 Grand Avenue in Clinton Hill, owned by Eugene Olton, has experienced several significant and concerning issues over recent years. Most notably, there is an active violation as of September 2024 for failing to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection report, which follows a troubling pattern of non-compliance with inspection requirements.

The property has accumulated a series of six consecutive violations between April 2022 and September 2024 regarding untimely submission of external low-pressure inspection reports for the years 2018 through 2023. Additionally, there is a historical violation from November 2019 for failing to file the 2017 annual boiler inspection report, suggesting ongoing neglect of critical safety compliance requirements.

In terms of recent complaints, there was a report filed in September 2024 regarding illegal commercial/manufacturing use in the residential zone, though this complaint was ultimately closed in February 2025 when the inspector was unable to gain access to the property after two final attempts. The building, constructed in 1872, is classified as a HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS B property, which indicates it has undergone some form of conversion from its original use, though specific details of this conversion are not provided in the records. The persistent pattern of inspection violation notices, particularly regarding low-pressure systems and boiler safety, is the most notable aspect of the building's recent history, indicating a potential area of concern for resident safety and regulatory compliance.
