227 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

227 Grand Street is a 41-unit, 4-story Class A apartment building in Williamsburg, completed in 2009 and currently owned by Yida Stern. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with significant concerns centered around water leaks and pest infestations. Most notably, in 2024-2025, there were multiple complaints about water leaks and unsanitary conditions related to pests, with some complaints remaining unresolved due to lack of access for inspection.

The property has also faced several elevator-related violations, with multiple instances of being out of service between 2023-2025, though inspections often found no violations at the time. A cluster of violations was recorded in late 2023 regarding security and door access issues, including the presence of unauthorized electromagnetic locking devices and problems with self-closing doors, though most were subsequently resolved. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of persistent issues, particularly in mid-2024 when multiple violations were documented during inspections, including problems with doors, lighting, water leaks, and sprinkler systems.

An active parking structure inspection violation from 2024 is currently under review with a $2,500 penalty. However, the building has maintained a clean record for bedbugs since 2020, with no reported infestations during the past five filing periods. While the property has undergone regular pest control measures, as evidenced by multiple bait application reports in 2022, the recent history of unresolved maintenance complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep. The property has also faced scrutiny for various regulatory compliance issues, including failure to maintain proper elevator maintenance logs and security systems, though many of these violations have been resolved or dismissed upon correction.
