522 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

522 Grand Street is a 6-story, 10-unit Class A building in Williamsburg, constructed in 2019 and currently owned by Snir David. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, most recently evidenced by a February 2025 complaint that HPD was unable to investigate due to access issues. A significant open violation pertains to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, with citations issued in 2022, 2023, and 2024.

The building's safety systems have come under scrutiny, with a September 2023 Department of Buildings complaint regarding inadequate sprinkler systems (though no violation was warranted upon inspection) and another complaint in March 2025 about illegal occupancy, which resulted in an Oath violation served in May 2025. During its construction and initial operation phases, the building faced several compliance challenges. In 2019, multiple ECB violations were issued regarding construction safety, including failures to comply with Department of Transportation regulations, inadequate roof protection for adjacent property, and failure to provide required sidewalk sheds, resulting in penalties that were subsequently resolved.

The building's construction process also generated several complaints about work contrary to stop work orders and construction beyond approved plans, though inspections found no violations at that time. While most of these initial construction-related issues were resolved, the persistence of the bedbug report violation and recent heating system complaints suggest ongoing areas of concern. The building has maintained an active record of permit issuances, with multiple permits issued during 2018-2019 for various work types, including plumbing, electrical, and gef work.
