153 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

153 Grand Street in Williamsburg is a three-story, two-family house built in 1910, currently owned by Daniel Hiltzik. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple violations related to construction safety and compliance between 2019-2021, including unsafe conditions during demolition work, inadequate safety fencing, and failure to maintain proper temporary shoring. In 2020, there were also several violations regarding non-essential construction during COVID-19 and issues with worker safety training.

The building had an active Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspection complaint as of May 2025, though details on this specific violation were not provided in the data. There have been two bedbug violation notices (2021 and 2022) regarding the failure to file annual reports, though the 2021 report indicated no infested units. A hot water violation was recorded and closed in April 2022 for the 2nd-floor apartment. The property underwent substantial renovation work during 2019-2020, which generated numerous permits and multiple violation notices, including several immediately hazardous violations that were later dismissed.

The building has passed recent rodent inspections, with the most recent showing no violations. The construction period from late 2019 through 2020 appears to have been particularly problematic, with multiple citations for various safety and procedural violations, including concerning worker safety protocols and violations of construction codes. However, many of these violations were ultimately resolved or dismissed through proper correction or certification processes. The building's recent history shows some maintenance issues in terms of bedbug management and hot water supply, though these appear to have been addressed once formally cited.
