347 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

347 Grand Street is a 3-story, 2-unit converted dwelling located in Williamsburg and owned by Gabriel Dorfman. The building, constructed in 1910, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, there are two open bedbug-related violations from 2023-2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports.

There have been recurring concerns about heat and hot water, with separate incidents reported in 2020 (entire building) and 2022 (apartment only), though in both cases, either access was not granted for inspection or the issues were reportedly corrected. The property has undergone multiple inspections and received several violations related to its electrical systems, particularly in 2021, when there were multiple citations for defective/exposed electrical wiring and components, including a significant ECB violation regarding unapproved electrical equipment on the first floor rear. Structural issues have also been documented, with reports of building shaking/vibration in 2021 leading to multiple complaints, and previous violations in 2018-2019 related to exterior facade cracking.

The building has maintained compliance with pest management protocols, as evidenced by the absence of bedbug infestations in recent filings (2020-2021 and 2019-2020), and it passed rodent inspections in 2019. Recent permit activity (2022) shows some ongoing maintenance efforts, with work authorized for electrical and plumbing systems. While many historical violations have been resolved, including those from 2018-2019 regarding work without permits and various maintenance issues, the two open bedbug-related violations from 2023-2024 remain active. The building's history suggests a pattern of responding to maintenance issues as they arise, with most recent complaints being addressed through proper channels, though with varying degrees of successful inspections and access issues.
