255 Grafton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 8-unit, 4-story building at 255 Grafton Street in Brownsville, owned by Moshe Deutsch and completed in 2018, has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with water damage. Most recently, in 2024, violations were documented regarding both water leaks and paint/plaster issues, specifically affecting Apartment 4B. Historical data shows a persistent pattern of water-related problems, with similar issues reported in 2022 and multiple rodent sightings between 2021 and 2024, including two inspections in 2023 that failed for unspecified reasons.

The building's inspection history reveals several safety and maintenance violations, including multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2023 related to safety equipment notification requirements (including carbon monoxide detector and smoke detector notices) and emergency procedures. During the building's construction in 2018, there were multiple work site violations regarding housekeeping and fence maintenance, though these were ultimately resolved. Notably, the building has maintained a zero infestation status for bedbugs over the past five reporting periods (2019-2024), showing successful pest management in this regard.

The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple violation notices since its construction, though most recent violations appear to be being addressed in a timely manner. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) has issued several violations that required inspection and correction, and while there are recurrent issues, particularly with water leaks and maintenance, many historical violations from prior years have been resolved. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to basic repairs is needed, particularly in regarding to water management and general upkeep.
