456 Grant Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The three-story, six-unit tenement at 456 Grant Avenue in Cypress Hills, owned by Grant Liberty LLC, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints and violations related to heating and safety systems, including a February 2025 heat/hot water complaint involving the entire building, and emergency violations in 2025 regarding carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and the fire escape. The building has also faced significant plumbing and electrical issues, particularly during 2024, when multiple complaints about leaks, toilet problems, and electrical outlets were filed, though housing inspectors were reportedly unable to gain access to verify these conditions.

The property underwent a December 2023 inspection that revealed several problems in apartment 1R, including defective smoke detectors, door issues, pest infestation, and mold in the bathroom. A boiler-related violation was issued in December 2023 regarding hot water heater problems, with an active penalty of $625.00. Despite these various maintenance challenges, the building has maintained a record of no bedbug infestations since 2019, with regular reporting showing zero infested units.

The most recent bedbug report from June 2025, covering the period 2023-2024, confirmed no infestations during that timeframe. While there have been periodic rodent inspections, the last recorded inspection in 2012 showed a passed result. The building's history shows a pattern of recurring issues with basic services and safety systems, particularly during the transition from 2023 to 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed through the Housing Maintenance Code and 311 services. The frequency of heating, plumbing, and safety system complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, though many of these issues appear to be addressed through subsequent corrections or closed complaints.
