269 Grafton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The three-story, nine-unit tenement building at 269 Grafton Street in Brownsville, owned by Elroy Oliver, has experienced some significant events recently, most notably a heat and hot water emergency in January 2025.

This issue, which affected the entire building, was reported on January 14 and appeared to have been promptly addressed by HPD, with heat and hot water reportedly restored before the inspector's arrival, leading to the closure of the complaint on January 16-17.

The building's maintenance record shows no bedbug infestations during the most recent reporting period (November 2022 - October 2023), with zero units reported as infested, eradicated, or re-infested, suggesting effective pest management protocols have been maintained. While the recent heating system failure is concerning, it appears to have been resolved quickly, though the incident highlights the importance of consistent building-wide systems maintenance in keeping with the requirements for New Law tenements built in 1910.
