623 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The property at 623 Grand Street in Williamsburg is a two-family house built in 1920, currently owned by Anna Pepicelli. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years, most notably in 2020 when multiple violations were recorded regarding building maintenance, including problems with walls and window sills on the Leonard Street face, which resulted in two Environmental Control Board violations totaling $3,780 in penalties.

The Department of Buildings also recorded violations for failing to maintain a sidewalk shed during this period. A concerning open housing maintenance violation from July 2021 remains on record, stating that three bolt caps were missing from the shed at the building's front. More recent activity includes a food establishment inspection in 2025 and previous rodent/insect/garbage-related complaints in 2020, both involving the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

Two unsuccessful inspection attempts related to Certificate of Occupancy compliance were recorded in early 2025, though no violations were ultimately established. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past three reporting periods from 2021 through 2024, with zero reported cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation in any of the three units. The property has shown some improvement in addressing violations, as evidenced by the resolution of most 2020 violations and the recent bedbug reports indicating no pest issues.
