Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

891 Grand Street is a four-story, five-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920 in East Williamsburg, currently owned by Evangelos Paravalos. The building has experienced some health and safety concerns over the past few years, most notably a food establishment complaint in December 2021 regarding rodents, insects, and garbage, which though administratively closed in June 2024, suggests some persistence of sanitation issues. Additionally, there was a food poisoning incident in June 2021 involving three or more individuals, though this was determined to be an isolated incident by the Health Department's Office of Environmental Investigations. The building's compliance with rodent inspections shows mixed results, with an initial inspection in August 2018 resulting in failure for unspecified reasons, followed by a passed compliance inspection later that month.

On a more positive note, 891 Grand Street has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status, with all bedbug reports from 2018 through mid-2025 showing zero infestation, eradication, or re-infestation cases across all units. The property has undergone annual bedbug reporting as required, with the most recent reports in 2025 showing the same pattern of no infestations. While the building has faced some sanitation challenges, particularly regarding food establishments in recent years, the absence of bedbug issues and the eventual resolution of the rodent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance and management attention to resident health and safety concerns.
