148 Grove Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

148 Grove Street is a three-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Ali Rashid. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most concerning being a series of mold-related problems in early 2021 that led to violations, and multiple appliance and utility-related complaints. These include a cooking gas issue in late 2022 that could not be inspected, an emergency power outage in March 2021, and a recently resolved electric/gas range issue in mid-2024.

The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting history from 2020 through 2025, with no reported infestations during this period, though violations were noted in 2021 for failing to file annual reports. The property has had multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, including a current open violation (as of June 2023) regarding failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection. Earlier violations from 2021 required improvements to garbage receptacles, lighting in public areas, and proper gas leak notices.

Good news for current and prospective tenants includes recent rodent inspections, which have all passed, with the most recent inspection in February 2025 showing no rat activity. The building has demonstrated efforts to address maintenance issues, as evidenced by the resolution of multiple HPD violations and service requests, though some complaints have resulted in no violations being issued or could not be inspected. The property has shown consistent compliance with bedbug treatment protocols since 2021, and regular rodent control measures have been implemented, with bait applications and inspections showing improvement over time.
