Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

The 5-story, 12-unit residential building at 869 Grand Street in East Williamsburg, owned by Grand Canyon USA LLC, has exhibited various maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, in 2025, there were inspections for unsanitary conditions (pests) and a slow water leak, though neither resulted in housing law violations. Throughout 2023-2024, multiple complaints were investigated, including issues with mold, flooring, and electrical/gas ranges, as well as water leaks, none of which led to official violations. The building had several significant violations in 2024 related to safety requirements, including the need for proper gas leak response procedures, mechanical latch requirements, and proper building signage, with the most serious being a Class C violation regarding an unauthorized electromagnetic locking device at the front entrance, though these were subsequently addressed and certified as corrected in 2024.

This 1930 building has a history of various maintenance concerns including a problematic window frame issue in 2021, and environmental issues from 2018 related to improper transient use conversions, missing fire alarm systems, and inadequate means of egress, though these were ultimately resolved. The Department of Buildings currently has an active violation regarding a 2018 boiler inspection report that remains unresolved. The building has demonstrated consistent bedbug management, with no reported infestations in any unit over the past five years according to the most recent filings. While rodent activity was noted in 2011, a subsequent inspection that same year showed compliance, and no further rodent issues have been reported since then.
