460 Grant Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 460 Grant Avenue in Cypress Hills, owned by Abraham Grunhut, was constructed in 1917 and has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. Most significantly, there are active water leak problems, with a heavy flow leak reported and inspected by HPD in May 2025, along with multiple paint and plaster violations affecting walls, ceilings, and cabinets in various units. The building has a documented history of mold and pest issues, particularly in Unit 1L where violations were issued in September 2023 for water leaks, roach infestation, visible mold, and damaged plastered surfaces.

More recent inspections in May 2025 have revealed similar concerns, including unsanitary conditions and water leak problems. The property has also faced regulatory scrutiny, with violations issued in June 2023 regarding unfiled low pressure external inspections for 2019 and 2020. A concerning pattern of mold and unsanitary conditions has been documented across multiple units, including Unit 3R in March 2023.

While recent rodent inspections in December 2023 and May 2025 passed without issues, there was noted rat activity detected in October 2023. The building has experienced periodic bedbug infestations, with the last reported cases in late 2022 affecting four units, though subsequent filings through 2025 show no new infestations. The current violation status includes an open Class C violation from July 2024 regarding a defective self-closing entrance door at the public hall.
