338 44th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

338 44th Street is a triplex residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by 338 Property LLC. This New Law Tenement in Sunset Park consists of 6 units and has experienced some notable maintenance and compliance issues in recent years.

Most concerning is an active violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file External Low Pressure Inspection reports for the years 2018, 2020, and 2021 - a requirement that appears to have gone unaddressed for multiple years. Additionally, there was a complaint in April 2023 regarding illegal commercial use of the residential space; while this was investigated and closed in July 2023 with no violations found, it indicates some concerns about proper usage of the property.

The building's recent history shows a consistent absence of pest issues, with all bedbug reports from 2020 through 2024 documenting zero infested units. However, there was a significant rodent control challenge in mid-2022, with multiple bait applications between June and August 2022, and documented rat activity during both initial and compliance inspections in June and July of that year. Since then, there have been no further rodent inspections recorded, and the most recent rodent-related inspection from 2022 was designated as "Passed." While the building's current bedbug-free status is encouraging, the failure to maintain proper Low Pressure Inspection filings over multiple years represents a concerning pattern of regulatory non-compliance that has persisted through 2023 and beyond, with no recorded resolution as of October 2023.
