243 Grafton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

243 Grafton Street is a two-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 2005 and currently owned by Meng Yu. The property has experienced multiple maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant cluster of incidents occurring in September 2024. During this period, the building faced various problems including pests, safety concerns with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, flooring issues, appliance malfunctions, plumbing problems, door issues, and a power outage.

All these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no violations were ultimately issued. The building also received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2024 related to door/window and plumbing issues, which were categorized as emergencies. Previous history reveals a pattern of maintenance challenges, including recurring pest issues, safety system concerns, and various repair needs.

The building has been consistently compliant with rodent inspections since 2011, though there was one failure noted in March 2011. Notably, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports since 2019 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The building underwent several inspections in 2019 that revealed various maintenance needs, particularly in Apartment 1, including issues with floors, plastered surfaces, and door functioning, though these were subsequently addressed. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, the absence of documented violations for recent complaints and consistent bedbug monitoring compliance may provide some reassurance about the current management's responsiveness to building maintenance needs.
