252 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

252 Grand Street is a 4-story, 6-unit residential building in Williamsburg, built in 1910 and currently owned by Mordechai Katz. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant being a mold complaint filed in January 2024, which was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) but resulted in no violations. In late 2019, there were multiple emergency complaints including problems with heat and hot water, door issues, and pest infestations; while HPD investigated these matters, no violations were found and the conditions were reportedly resolved.

The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to bedbug prevention, with all six annual bedbug reports filed from 2019 through 2025 showing zero infested units. The property has passed a rodent inspection conducted in March 2019. The building's permit records from 2020 through 2023 indicate ongoing maintenance and improvement work, with five permits issued under Job Number 322020335.

An annual bedbug report violation was issued in February 2022, though it appears this was subsequently rectified as all following reports were filed correctly. A Department of Buildings inspection related to a sweep in February 2022 found no warrantable violations. While the building has experienced various service requests and maintenance issues over the years, the most recent records (2024-2025) suggest improved conditions, with no recent complaints or violations on file. The building's age and history of complaints regarding heating systems, water issues, and mold suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, while the consistent filing of bedbug reports and recent permit activity indicate active property management.
