318 Grafton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

318 Grafton Street in Brownsville is a two-family, two-story residential building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Rolston Watson. The property has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, particularly regarding rodent infestation, with multiple bait applications recorded between February and June 2025, and documented rat activity in October and December 2024.

The building's maintenance history shows persistent problems with basic utilities and infrastructure; in May 2018, violations were recorded for inadequate gas supply to the kitchen range and lack of hot water throughout the second-floor apartment, both of which remain open as of this report. There was a notable heat and hot water emergency complaint in November 2020, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. The building's health and safety record includes several food safety concerns, with the most recent complaint filed in June 2025 regarding a mobile food vendor, currently under investigation by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

Previous incidents include complaints in 2018 about food handling practices and possible food poisoning. While both these health complaints were closed, they indicate past concerns about food safety in the vicinity. The property's documented violations and service requests suggest ongoing challenges with basic services and pest management, with the most recent rodent inspections indicating continued active infestation requiring regular bait application.
