714 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The 2-family house at 714 Grand Street in Williamsburg, owned by SK Realty NY LLC, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most recent problems occurring in early 2024. A notable cluster of complaints emerged in October 2023, including issues with water leaks (slow leak), electrical problems (wiring and no lighting), and both ceiling and wall paint/plaster concerns. These complaints were significant enough to generate emergency responses, though HPD was unable to gain access to inspect these conditions at the time.

In early 2024, multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water service were filed, affecting both the entire building and individual apartments, with at least one case being marked as emergency. While inspections were conducted, no violations were ultimately issued for these complaints. The building's most recent electrical issue was reported in January 2024 regarding an outlet/switch problem, which was eventually closed by HPD.

An earlier health-related concern from June 2023 regarding indoor air quality and chemical vapors was also documented and addressed through a notification to the owner. Interestingly, there was a complaint about an illegal conversion filed in October 2023, which resulted in an inspection on January 5, 2024, though the investigation found no violations at that time. While many of these issues have been formally closed, it's worth noting that access for inspections was a recurring theme throughout the complaints, with multiple instances where inspectors were unable to access the affected units for verification.
