716 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The four-story, six-unit tenement building at 716 Grand Street in Williamsburg, built in 1920 and currently owned by Phung Vuu, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, as of October 2023, Apartment 3L has multiple open violations including pest infestations (both roaches and mice), various window and floor repairs needed, and problems with kitchen surfaces requiring attention.

The building has had multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints regarding flooring, windows, and electrical issues between 2023 and 2024, with both emergency and non-emergency classifications. In 2023, there were also concerns about unauthorized alterations and use of space, including the installation of a mezzanine level for bike storage and operation of an e-bike store/service center contrary to permitted use, though these violations were subsequently resolved. The property has a consistent record of plumbing, flooring, and electrical maintenance issues between May and September 2023, with multiple violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years (2020-2025), the building does face ongoing maintenance challenges. Inspection reports show various repairs have been needed on windows, floors, and electrical systems throughout the building, with some violations remaining open as of October 2023. The most recent building inspection in April 2025 did not result in any new violations, and previous Certificate of Occupancy concerns were also resolved in 2025.
