What it means
Landlords
This is a reminder that the city can step in and pay for emergency work on private property when it finds a hazard. Owners usually get billed for that work. Owners near the site may want to watch for work crews, sidewalk closures or effects on their own buildings.
Tenants and voucher holders
If you live at or next to 927 Grand Street, the notice does not say whether anyone must move or for how long. Ask HPD or call 311 about your building's status and any relocation help before you make plans.
Caseworkers
Clients connected to this address may face sudden displacement. Confirm their housing status directly with HPD, because this notice gives no details on occupants.
The highlights
- The notice ran in The City Record on 10/16/2026.
- It is listed as an HPD procurement item for emergency work.
Why it matters Landlords
City emergency work can be billed to the owner, so landlords should keep buildings safe and answer violations quickly.
What to do: Check your buildings for open HPD and DOB violations and fix hazardous conditions promptly.

Background
In New York City, the Department of Buildings (DOB) generally decides when a structure is in imminent danger of collapse and issues an emergency declaration. HPD then hires contractors to carry out the emergency demolition or other work, often without the usual bidding process because of the urgency. These emergency contracts are commonly posted afterward in The City Record. The city typically bills the property owner for the cost, and unpaid charges can become a lien on the property.
