69 Grove Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 69 Grove Street in Bushwick, owned by Shalom Malul, has been experiencing ongoing maintenance issues since 2024, with the most recent complaints centering around water leaks. There are currently open violations from August 2024 related to water leakage, missing smoke detectors, and missing carbon monoxide detectors in the third-floor apartment. The building has a documented history of water-related problems, with multiple slow leak complaints filed between 2023 and 2025.

Safety concerns have also been prominent, particularly regarding smoke detector deficiencies, with three separate complaints between July and September 2024. Additionally, there were reports of mold issues in apartments 2 and 3 in mid-2024. Inspection records reveal a pattern of access issues, with inspectors unable to gain entry during several attempts to investigate complaints.

Despite these repeated problems, the building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections between 2019 and 2025, and there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years. Two complaints regarding unauthorized uses of the property were filed in 2022 and 2024, though both were closed without access being gained by inspectors. Violations issued in August 2024 include requirements to repair plaster surfaces, address water leaks, and properly maintain safety equipment, though the building has also successfully closed several previous complaints, indicating some responsiveness to maintenance issues. The property's maintenance history shows a particular vulnerability to water-related problems and safety equipment deficiencies, with violations spread across most units and common areas.
