949 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
949 Grand Street is a 4-story, 6-unit old law tenement building located in East Williamsburg, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Saul Maslavi. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints in both January 2025 and February 2022, indicating a persistent maintenance challenge.
More recently, in 2024-2025, there were concerns about garbage/recycling storage and unsanitary conditions, though these inspections were not fully completed by HPD. The building has faced several safety-related citations, including an open Class B violation from February 2022 regarding defective fire retardant material in the public hall, and multiple open violations concerning door security, smoke detector requirements, and other safety postings. Historical issues include a significant boiler-related violation in December 2021 involving multiple safety concerns (though this was resolved with a $625 penalty), and a rodent infestation documented in 2022 with subsequent follow-up inspections in 2023.
The building's bedbug reporting history shows minimal issues, with only one unit reportedly infested in 2024, while recent rodent inspections in 2024 showed passing results. The property has a history of difficulty with inspection access, as noted in multiple HPD complaint resolutions, which may impact the thoroughness of regulatory oversight. While the building has documented attempts to address various maintenance and safety issues, the pattern of recurring heat/water problems and multiple open violations suggests ongoing management challenges.
