558 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

558 Grand Street is a 4-story, 6-unit residential building located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, owned by Chaim Franczoz and dating back to 1920. The property has experienced some notable issues in recent years, particularly regarding pest problems.

Most recently, in August 2024, there was a complaint filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests, though inspectors were unable to gain access to the property to verify the complaint. This complaint appears to be related to a pattern of pest issues, as evidenced by the timing of the complaint being filed just before the bedbug reporting period.

Interestingly, while the building has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations for five consecutive reporting periods from 2020 through 2025, the pest complaint in 2024 suggests some ongoing challenges with vermin in the building. The only other significant incident on record was a complaint in April 2022 regarding an alleged illegal conversion of commercial space to dwelling units, though inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate this complaint as well. Despite these concerns, the building's bedbug reports show no documented infestations or eradications over the past several years, indicating that while pest issues may be present, they do not appear to be related to bedbugs specifically.
