604 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The three-story, five-unit residential building at 604 Grand Street in Williamsburg, owned by Teresa Lesniak and constructed in 1920, has experienced several notable health and safety issues over recent years. Most significantly, there was a cluster of food establishment complaints in 2021, with seven separate reports between May 31 and July 13, all pertaining to rodent, insect, and garbage problems.

A more recent food poisoning incident occurred in April 2023, which was referred to the New York State Agriculture and Markets. The building has also faced challenges with bedbug documentation compliance, receiving violations in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 for failing to submit annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code. However, the most recent bedbug report filed in July 2025 for the period starting November 2023 shows no infested units, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units.

The building's rodent control efforts appear to have improved over time, with a rat activity observation during a June 2021 inspection being followed by a passing compliance inspection in July 2021. While the property has faced multiple health and safety challenges, recent records suggest some progress, particularly with bedbug management, though the building continues to present occasional issues requiring attention, as evidenced by the 2023 food poisoning complaint and past food establishment violations. The most recent housing violations from April 2024 remain open, indicating potential ongoing compliance monitoring requirements.
