796 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The 5-unit residential building at 796 Grand Street in Williamsburg, owned by Irina Mushyakova and constructed in 1920, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging between 2020 and 2023. The property has faced recurring heat and hot water problems, with multiple complaints filed by tenants between 2019 and 2022, though many of these complaints were closed due to lack of access for inspections.

A series of concerning issues arose in late 2021, including unsanitary conditions related to pests and mold, safety concerns regarding carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, and door/window problems, all of which were classified as emergency complaints. During a November 2021 inspection, multiple violations were documented in apartment 3L, including issues with the carbon monoxide detector, smoke detector, various plumbing fixtures, roof leaks, window problems, and deteriorated plaster surfaces, though all of these violations were subsequently certified as corrected by December 2021. More recently, the building has faced ongoing moisture issues, with a water leak complaint filed in November 2023 that could not be inspected due to access issues.

The property has maintained a good record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases over the past six years (2019-2024), and rodent baiting efforts were documented in December 2022. While many past complaints have been resolved, the recurring pattern of access issues during inspections and the recent water leak complaint suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's maintenance history highlights a particular period of concern in 2021, though there has been no documented heating system failures since 2022, and no new violations have been recorded in the past two years.
