697 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The 4-unit, 3-story residential building at 697 Grand Street in Williamsburg, owned by Sharon Lim and constructed in 2005, has experienced several maintenance issues over its history, with the most significant problems occurring between late 2019 and early 2020. These included a heavy water leak in December 2019 that required HPD inspection, and a heat/hot water complaint in November 2019 that could not be inspected due to lack of access. The building has had some regulatory compliance issues, including two separate violations in 2022 and 2023 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, and a December 2019 violation regarding self-closing doors in a specific apartment (3B).

While rodent activity was initially noted in July 2018, a subsequent inspection in August 2018 passed, suggesting the issue was addressed. Despite these past issues, the building's recent bedbug reports from 2021 through 2025 show consistent reports of zero infested or eradicated units, indicating an effective pest management program. The property has also maintained compliance with rodent control requirements since 2018, though there was an initial rat activity report.

A complaint filed in June 2019 regarding permits was inspected in September 2019 and resulted in no violations. The most recent bedbug report filed in May 2025 covers the period from November 2023 to October 2024 and also shows no infestations. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues, there have been no recent patterns of recurring problems, and the management has maintained appropriate filings for pest control in recent years.
