Augrented Insights Report for 257 Grafton Street

The three-story New Law tenement at 257 Grafton Street in Brownsville, owned by Heshmatollah Liazadeh, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since 2024, with the most significant recent problems being related to heating and hot water systems. The building suffered multiple emergency heat/hot water outages throughout 2024 and early 2025, affecting either the entire building or individual apartments, though many complaints were resolved upon inspection.

In addition to heating issues, there have been plumbing concerns, including a slow water leak and toilet problems, as well as a ceiling plaster issue as of March 2025, which resulted in HPD violations that required owner remediation. The property has an active violation history, with an open Class C violation as of August 2024 regarding an illegal chain lock on a metal gate, and several past violations concerning self-closing doors at the building entrance and hallways.

While the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and reported no infestation or re-infestation cases since 2024, a significant pest control issue was documented in 2022 when a Class C violation was issued for roach infestation in apartment 2C. The building's rodent inspection history shows recent improvement, passing an April 2025 inspection after a series of failures and non-compliance results between 2016-2018, suggesting better management of pest control challenges in recent years.
