409 Grand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

At 409 Grand Avenue in Clinton Hill, a 5-story, 5-unit building constructed in 1909 and currently owned by 409 Grand Hdfc, recent records from 2024-2025 indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with heat and hot water systems. The building has experienced multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints in early 2025 (February, January) and throughout 2024, with some resulting in violations.

December 2024 inspections identified issues with pest infestation (specifically mice in Apartment 4) and a water leak complaint from late 2022 was noted, though it was closed without violations. The building has undergone several inspections revealing various violations requiring correction, including inadequate heating in multiple apartments (Apt 1 and Apt 1F) in early 2024, access issues to heating systems, and problems with self-closing doors identified during a June 2023 inspection. More recent assessments show improved conditions regarding pest control, with no reported infestations in the bedbug reporting period from 2022-2025, and a passed compliance inspection for rodents in May 2024, following an initial rat activity report in April 2024.

The building's infrastructure has required ongoing attention, with violations related to various safety systems including a defective carbon monoxide detector in Apt 1 (June 2023) and various HMC Code violations related to door repairs and sprinkler system maintenance. The property's maintenance history demonstrates a pattern of addressing emergency situations as they occur, with multiple HPD inspections leading to violations being issued and subsequently addressed, though some violations from late 2024 inspections remain open. The building's management has generally responded to HPD inspections and service requests, with many complaints being marked as resolved, though some persistent issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
