337 44th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 4-story, 9-unit tenement building at 337 44th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Sunset 44 LLC and constructed in 1914, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water systems, particularly in January and December 2019, when multiple emergency complaints were filed and investigated, though no violations were ultimately issued. The building has also dealt with rodent issues, with reports of both mice and rats in early 2022, though these inspections resulted in no violations.

In 2018-2019, multiple violations were documented in Apartment 4, including issues with bathroom tiles, electrical outlets, and an infestation of mice, all of which were addressed and closed. More recently, there are active violations as of June 2023 regarding the failure to file 2018 and 2019 external low pressure inspections. The property underwent some renovations in 2018-2019, with permits issued for work, though an Environmental Control Board violation was recorded in April 2022 regarding the failure to conduct a final inspection of permitted work, resulting in a $625 penalty.

While there have been periodic reports of pest issues, including a significant emergency complaint in July 2018 regarding unsanitary conditions and water supply problems, the building's bedbug reporting from 2019 to present shows all filing periods with zero infested units. Rodent inspections conducted in 2022 passed successfully. The building has maintained regular bedbug reporting since 2019, consistently showing eradicated units, and inspections related to rodent issues have also cleared without violations, suggesting some improvement in pest management.
