705 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The 4-unit, 3-story residential building at 705 Grand Street in Williamsburg, owned by Soon Choi, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past several years. The most concerning incidents occurred in August 2018, when multiple complaints about mold and unsanitary conditions were filed with both the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though inspections by HPD found no violations in these cases.

The building has consistently required annual bedbug reporting compliance, as evidenced by four Class A violations between 2021 and 2024 related to the failure to submit these reports, though the most recent filing for the period ending October 2023 shows no infested units and indicates proper eradication. A notable safety concern exists in Apartment 2A, where a carbon monoxide detector violation was issued in August 2018 and remains open as of the most recent inspection in 2024, indicating a potential safety hazard related to this required life safety equipment. The building's maintenance history suggests a pattern of compliance issues, particularly regarding reporting requirements and environmental concerns.

While the most recent bedbug report indicates no current infestation issues, the open carbon monoxide detector violation in Apartment 2A represents a lingering safety concern. The property, built in 1920, has experienced periodic inspections and interventions by various city agencies, though many of the resolved complaints did not lead to documented violations. The most serious incidents related to mold and air quality occurred in 2018, suggesting these were addressed at the time, but without resulting violations being recorded.
