258 Graham Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

Located in Williamsburg, 258 Graham Avenue is a 4-story, 7-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1920, currently managed by 258 Graham LLC. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns emerging in 2025. This includes multiple emergency plumbing and mold incidents in June 2025, along with various unresolved inspection attempts relating to paint/plaster damage and a slow water leak.

During 2024, the building underwent serious structural scrutiny, with violations related to exterior wall stability and unauthorized work on a stucco wall at exposure 2 that reportedly exhibited cracking and bulging. The property has documented multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, including issues with heating systems, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors in Unit 1L, as well as general maintenance problems such as refuse accumulation in the front yard. The building's recent history shows a concerning pattern of maintenance issues, particularly during 2025 and late 2024, including difficulties with HPD inspections where inspectors were often unable to complete their evaluations.

Structural concerns prompted partial vacate orders related to the parking lot, though subsequent engineering inspections appear to have resolved some of these issues. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infestations or eradications reported in the past five years of filings. While some violations have been resolved, including heating and safety concerns after inspections, the building continues to experience recurring maintenance issues as of mid-2025, with several complaints remaining open or insufficiently addressed according to inspection reports.
