336 44th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 6-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building at 336 44th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Kaikwong Chan, has experienced several maintenance issues since 2018, with the most notable cluster of problems occurring in mid-2022. During June 2022, the building faced multiple urgent issues, including water leaks and ceiling problems that warranted HPD inspections.

A significant about of violations were recorded specifically in apartment 2L following a June 2022 inspection, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, mold in the bathroom ceiling, defective plastered surfaces, multiple paint-related problems, missing window guards, and concerns about lead-based paint hazards on window frames. While many of these violations were subsequently certified as corrected between July and September 2022, there remains one open violation related to self-closing doors.

The building's maintenance history also includes a plumbing water supply issue in September 2018, which was documented as an immediate emergency but closed with no violations. More recent data from December 2024 and December 2023 shows that the building has maintained a clean record with respect to bedbug infestations, with no reported cases of infested or re-infested units over the past four reporting periods from 2020 through 2024. The property, constructed in 1931, has received attention to safety compliance matters, including the 2021 bedbug report filing requirement that was noted as a violation but subsequently addressed.
