318 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

318 Grand Street is a 4-story, 29-unit residential building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Paul Joffe. The property has experienced a notable pattern of food service-related issues during 2024-2025, including multiple reports of food poisoning incidents, contaminated food, and concerns about rodents/insects/garbage in food establishments, with the most recent complaints filed in April 2025. Three housing maintenance code violations were documented in May 2023 regarding improper signage at the building's entrance, though all were subsequently certified as corrected.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero cases reported in the past five annual filings from 2019 through 2025. The property has undergone several inspections and investigations by various city agencies, with most resulting in no violations or requiring only minor administrative corrections. Between 2018 and 2021, the building passed rodent inspections in December 2018 and January 2021.

Recent complaints in 2025 regarding illegal commercial use in the residential zone and certificate of occupancy concerns have been filed, though the latter was determined to have no warranting violations upon inspection in July 2025. The building's owners have generally responded appropriately to violations and service requests, as evidenced by the closure of multiple food establishment complaints through health department investigations. While the recent cluster of food-related complaints is concerning, it's worth noting that the building has otherwise maintained reasonable compliance with housing maintenance codes and food safety regulations over the past five years, with prompt attention to most reported issues.
