706 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

706 Grand Street, a 4-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building in Williamsburg, owned by Frank Capalija and constructed in 1920, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past three years. Most recently, in October 2023, multiple complaints were filed regarding serious infrastructure problems including heavy water leaks, toilet issues, electrical outlet problems, and flooring concerns, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspections and these complaints were closed without resolution.

The building is currently subject to open Housing Maintenance Code Violations from 2023-2024 requiring annual bedbug reporting and various repairs to public hall areas, including multiple citations for inadequate fire retardant material, improper painting requirements, and maintenance issues affecting safety. The property has a documented pattern of plumbing, electrical, and structural maintenance concerns, with closed complaints in early 2023 addressing areas such as bathtubs/showers, ceiling/wall issues, and window panes.

A notable incident in late 2022 involved improper drainage infrastructure that resulted in a $500 penalty, though this was subsequently resolved. The cumulative record suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and safety compliance, particularly regarding proper documentation and adherence to building codes. The most recent complaints from October 2023, which encompass plumbing, electrical, and structural systems, indicate persistent maintenance issues that have required multiple service requests to address.
