740 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The 23-unit, 4-story building at 740 Grand Street in Williamsburg, owned by Abrahham Miller, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most recently, in 2025, there have been complaints about unsanitary conditions and pest problems, though HPD inspections were unable to gain access to verify these issues. The building has been undergoing significant work since 2023-2024, with multiple complaints regarding construction-related dust, lead dust, and various safety violations.

Of particular concern are several open violations from December 2023 inspections, including issues with self-closing doors in the electrical and boiler rooms, as well as problems with ceiling materials in the public hall. The property has a documented history of heat and hot water issues in 2021 and 2022, with multiple emergency complaints regarding these essential services. The building's recent history shows a pattern of maintenance and safety concerns, particularly during construction periods.

There have been multiple complaints about construction-related dust, heating issues, and various code violations in 2023-2024. Notably, there were several violations related to improper storage of combustible materials, extension cords, and other safety concerns documented during a December 2023 inspection. The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in recent years, and rodent inspections in 2012 showed initially positive results with rat activity followed by a compliance pass. While earlier complaints about heat and hot water issues in 2021 were resolved, the more recent construction activities have generated new concerns about air quality and various building code compliance matters.
