701 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

701 Grand Street is a two-story, two-family residential building constructed in 1920 in Williamsburg, currently owned by Joel Fekete. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with three documented complaints between 2018 and 2023, two of which resulted in violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). In December 2023, there were two significant service requests related to an electric/gas range and heat/hot water issues, though the HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the range complaint, and violations were issued for the heat/hot water issue.

The building faced several other infrastructure challenges in 2018, including plumbing and cooking gas issues, with both heat/hot water complaints being categorized as emergencies. A rodent-related complaint was also filed in August 2018, which typically triggers an inspection by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. More recently, in February 2023, there was a permit-related complaint which was inspected and found to have no violations.

Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past three reporting years (2021-2024), with zero infested units reported in the most recent filings. The property's history shows a pattern of heating system issues requiring regulatory intervention, particularly between 2018 and 2023, while more recent complaints in 2023 have not yet established a clear pattern of ongoing issues. The building's overall condition appears to be stable as of the latest available data, with no recurring pest control issues and a reasonable response to recent maintenance requests, though access issues have sometimes complicated resolution processes.
