321 44th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

321 44th Street is a four-story, 25-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1914, currently owned by Wolf Sicherman. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent complaint regarding electrical lighting problems filed in November 2023, which inspection authorities were unable to access.

In 2021, there were multiple pest-related complaints, though inspectors were not granted access to verify the conditions. The building has a history of electrical issues, evidenced by power outages in 2018 and 2023, as well as water supply problems in 2020. The building has undergone several department inspections and was found to have multiple safety and maintenance violations in 2018-2019, including concerns about fire escape access, security hardware, and window conditions.

Notably, in 2019, there were three violations related to building security and fire safety, including incorrect installation of thumbturn locks and illegal fasteners on fire passageway gates. The building's residents have consistently reported no bedbug infestations since 2020, although there were three affected units documented in late 2018, and recent rodent inspections show fluctuating results between 2014 and 2022, with rat activity noted in October 2022 before passing compliance in November 2022. While most historical violations have been resolved, the building shows persistent issues with basic services like lighting, plumbing, and maintenance of safety systems, requiring ongoing attention from both management and city agencies.
