Augrented Insights Report for 212 Grand Street

As of March 2025, 212 Grand Street, a 4-story, 7-unit building in Williamsburg owned by Mordechei Katz, is facing several significant maintenance issues that impact resident safety and comfort. Most notably, there are current violations related to fire escape safety that have been documented through multiple 311 complaints in March 2025, along with violations regarding door conditions, ceiling and wall maintenance, and plumbing issues with a basin/sink.

The building has also experienced electrical problems recently, including power outages and lighting concerns, though inspections determined these did not violate housing laws. The property has a documented history of regulatory compliance issues, including multiple complaints and violations regarding illegal conversions and work without proper permits. An active investigation into illegal conversions was noted in June 2025, following previous complaints in 2024.

The building has also faced historical challenges with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple bait application inspections throughout 2024. While there have been several emergency maintenance issues requiring violation notices, including problems with window guards, carbon monoxide detectors, and various safety concerns in 2022 related to the building's common areas, many of these violations have been closed following required corrections. The property shows consistent regularity in filing bedbug and rodent inspections, with no reported infestations in recent years, though rodent activity was noted in 2019 and 2024.
