314 Grove Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

314 Grove Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Grove Realty Inc. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, with multiple complaints filed in 2025 (including emergency complaints in March 2025), following a similar pattern from 2022. There have also been persistent concerns about garbage and recycling storage, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions filed in 2025.

Notably, there are three open violations related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports from 2018 to 2024, which suggest ongoing challenges with pest management. The building's maintenance history shows some structural concerns, including an open violation from 2018 requiring the replacement of a missing balustrade and handrail at the cellar stairs. The property has undergone several rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, showing mixed results, with rat activity noted in late 2024 and 2023, though in most recent inspections the building was passing.

The building's emergency systems and basic services have been the subject of numerous service requests, with HPD often unable to gain access for inspections - including for complaints about heating issues, intercom systems, and pest problems. These access issues have resulted in some complaints being closed without proper resolution. An interesting historical note from 2019 mentions a complaint about illegal conversion that was ultimately closed due to inspector access issues. The pattern of complaints and violations suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and communication between management and tenants, particularly regarding access for inspections and responsiveness to reported issues.
