672 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
The 4-story, 6-unit tenement building at 672 Grand Street in Williamsburg, owned by Jay Hirsch and constructed in 1920, has experienced several concerning maintenance and health issues in recent years. Most notably, the building has four open Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2024, and there are significant unresolved violations related to electrical safety.
Two separate incidents in 2020 and 2022 involved unlawful work continuation against stop work orders for electrical wiring, resulting in a substantial $25,000 penalty that remains unpaid as of October 2023. The building has also faced multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) inspections and complaints, particularly between 2018 and 2024, regarding food establishment conditions, including rodent/insect issues, dishwashing violations, and a vaccine mandate non-compliance incident in 2021.
While the most recent rodent inspection in December 2024 resulted in a passing grade, the building's recent history raises several concerns about maintenance practices and regulatory compliance. The property has shown a pattern of unresolved health and safety violations, particularly in relation to bedbug reporting requirements, which have remained open for multiple years. The building's electrical system has been a persistent area of concern, with multiple violations regarding defective/exposed wiring and work performed in violation of stop work orders, including one active ECB violation from 2022 with a $25,000 penalty.
