765 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

765 Grand Street is a five-story, 23-unit residential building located in Williamsburg, built in 1920 and currently owned by 765 Grand Street Realty Corp. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with the most recent incident reported in March 2025, which was resolved promptly. Similar heating system failures were documented in 2022 and 2021, typically resolved upon inspection.

The building has faced various maintenance challenges, including a rodent sighting in December 2021, unsanitary conditions related to mold and damp spots in October 2020, and pest issues in 2019 that remain open as of the latest records. The Department of Buildings has active violations as of September 2024 for failure to file required high-pressure inspections from 2018 through 2023, indicating potential safety concerns related to building systems. Water-related issues have been documented through HPD complaints, including leaks and mold conditions, though inspections were often unable to gain access for verification. While there were two instances of bedbug infestations reported in 2019 and 2021, subsequent annual filings (2022-2024) show zero infested units, suggesting successful eradication efforts.

The building's management has generally responded to violations and complaints, though there have been multiple instances where inspectors were unable to gain access to verify reported conditions. Regular rodent inspections in 2017 and 2022 passed, indicating improvements in pest control measures. The historical records suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance, particularly regarding heat/hot water provision and moisture-related issues, while showing some improvement in pest management through recent bedbug survey results. The active violations for high-pressure inspection filings should be monitored for resolution, as they represent the most significant current compliance issue.
