669 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The three-story, four-unit tenement building at 669 Grand Street in Williamsburg, owned by Aifked Amkie, has a concerning pattern of health and pest-related issues over the past several years. Most notably, there are persistent open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements under the Housing Maintenance Code, with these violations remaining unresolved through multiple inspections between 2021 and 2024.

These open violations, which carry a significant potential impact on resident comfort and safety, relate to the building's failure to file the required annual bedbug reports with HPD, as mandated by New York City regulations. The building has also experienced multiple food safety incidents in recent years, particularly affecting a food establishment within the building.

There were three documented incidents of food poisoning complaints between late 2022 and early 2024, with the most recent food odor complaint filed in February 2024 with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH). While some of these complaints were determined to be isolated incidents or were referred to other regulatory authorities, the frequency of such complaints suggests ongoing concerns with the building's food service operations. The most recent inspection in April 2024 found the bedbug reporting violation still open, indicating a continuation of this particular compliance issue.
