710 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The 710 Grand Street building in Williamsburg is a 7-story, 10-unit residential property constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Stone Zhang, recently classified as a Converted Class A building. The property has experienced several significant safety-related issues in recent years, particularly concerning elevator safety in early 2020 when two separate complaints were filed regarding dangerous conditions including an open/unguarded shaft, for which violations were ultimately served.

Since then, there was a construction enforcement complaint in December 2022 that resulted in an Oath Violation being served. A water drainage-related issue was reported in September 2022, though inspectors were unable to gain access for proper examination. The building's elevator system appears to have required particular attention, with a cease-use violation issued in January 2020 that was lifted later that month.

A 2021 violation related to "None" category was resolved by December 2022, with comments indicating completion by Eastern Elevacert. Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record in recent bedbug inspections, with no reported infestations in any of the three most recent reporting periods from 2022 through 2024, showing a consistent pattern of no affected units or eradication efforts needed. This recent track record suggests improved pest management compared to previous years, while the elevator and construction issues from 2020-2022 highlight some historical safety concerns that appear to have been addressed through appropriate violations and corrections.
