337 Marion Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement at 337 Marion Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Michael James, was constructed in 1910 and has exhibited several concerning maintenance patterns over recent years. Most notably, the building has consistent open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2020 through 2024, suggesting a recurring issue with compliance on this specific matter.

In late 2020, there were separate incidents involving mold and rodent sightings, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene did not find violations related to these complaints at the time. The building has multiple open violations from 2020 that require attention to safety and regulatory compliance, including the need for proper posting of carbon monoxide detector requirements, inspection certificates, building registration information, gas leak procedures, and housing information guides, along with maintaining an operational smoke detection device in the first-story public hall.

The property has undergone routine rodent inspections in 2016, 2018, and 2021, with all showing passed results, indicating that while there have been rodent-related complaints, the building has maintained required sanitation standards according to these inspections. The most recent inspection records available are from 2024, showing that bedbug report filing remains an unresolved violation. The building's documented history reveals a pattern of regulatory compliance issues primarily focused on documentation and safety notice requirements, though individual unit conditions appear to be regularly addressed through proper channels when complaints are filed.
