245 Grafton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The 2-story, 3-unit residential building at 245 Grafton Street in Brownsville, owned by Marc Schwimmer, was constructed in 2005. The property has experienced several notable incidents over the past few years, with some recurring issues in 2018 when multiple complaints related to unsanitary conditions and rodent problems were filed with the Department of Health and Housing Preservation agencies, particularly concerning garbage and recycling storage issues.

These violations were documented through both 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints, though they were ultimately closed after inspection. More recently, the Department of Buildings recorded two significant complaints: one in August 2023 regarding the building being vacant, open, and unguarded, and another in October 2020 concerning construction work that allegedly deviated from approved plans and permits.

Both complaints were investigated and closed, with inspectors finding no violations warranted at the time of their visits. The building's relatively recent construction (2005) and the resolution of these complaints without documented violations suggest that while there have been some concerning incidents in the building's history, no ongoing safety or maintenance issues have been recorded in the most recent years leading up to 2025.
