540 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

540 Grand Street, a three-story, 4-unit old law tenement built in 1920 in Williamsburg, is currently owned by Abraham Franczoz. The building has experienced several significant events over the past few years, most notably in 2018-2019 when multiple violations were issued related to construction work and compliance with fire safety requirements. These violations, which occurred between March and October 2018, involved failure to comply with a commissioner's order regarding fire resistance ratings and documentation, particularly concerning the interconnection with adjacent buildings at 528, 532, and 538 Grand Street.

These violations resulted in penalties totaling $18,125, though records indicate they were subsequently resolved. In terms of resident comfort and safety, there was a heat and hot water complaint filed in March 2019, which HPD could not investigate due to lack of access, and a construction enforcement work order violation in September 2020. The building's maintenance record has been clean since these issues, with no bedbug reports in the past three years (2022-2025) and a passed rodent inspection in February 2018.

The property has shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing zero infested units from 2020 through 2025. Two plumbing-related permits were issued, in 2019 and 2021, suggesting ongoing attention to building maintenance systems. As of October 2023, there appear to be no unresolved violations or recent complaints, indicating improvement in building management and maintenance practices.
