648 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
The 33-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement at 648 Grand Street in Williamsburg, owned by Ada Rivera and constructed in 1920, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns evident in 2023-2024. Recent violations include multiple failures to file required external low-pressure inspections between 2019-2024, indicating potential boiler maintenance oversight.
The building has faced notable pest control challenges, with inspections in 2023-2024 confirming rat activity and previous reports of rodent and cockroach infestations in apartments 2A and 6C. Infrastructure issues have persisted over the years, including multiple heat and hot water complaints (2021-2022), plumbing problems, and various apartment-specific maintenance needs such as defective floor tiles and self-closing door systems. The property currently has several active violations from 2023-2024, particularly concerning door maintenance at the west fire door and apartment entrances.
Recent complaints from August 2023 regarding unsanitary conditions in garbage storage areas remain notable. While the building has a history of plumbing and water-related issues, including heavy flow water leaks documented in 2019, the most concerning recent patterns involve insufficient maintenance documentation (failures to file necessary inspections) and persistent pest control challenges. The most recent bedbug reports (2022-2025) indicate no infestations during the past three reporting periods, suggesting this particular issue has been effectively managed.
