646 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

646 Grand Street is a three-story, two-family residential building located in Williamsburg, owned by Alfred Basal and dating back to 1910. The property has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past decade, with the most significant concerns occurring between 2018-2019. These issues included multiple open violations in Apartment 3 related to water damage, with required repairs for ceiling leaks and plaster surfaces, as well as carbon monoxide detector problems.

During this period, there were also complaints about building stability, with two vibration-related complaints filed in June and October 2019, though no violations were ultimately found. The building had documented rodent activity in 2011, with multiple bait applications, though records ceased thereafter. More recent history shows some health department involvement, with two food establishment-related complaints in 2024-2025 regarding food hygiene and foreign objects, though these appeared to be related to a nearby business rather than the building itself.

A notable safety incident occurred in 2019 when a window guard was reported broken or missing, though no violations were issued following inspection. The property also had some environmental violations in late 2019 related to compliance with the Commissioner's orders and filing requirements, resulting in $1,250 penalties, though these were ultimately resolved. The most recent 311 service requests in 2025 relate to food establishment complaints, which have been closed with standard resolution notices directing to the NYC Health Department's website.
