337 Union Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

337 Union Avenue is a 5-story, 10-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Irena Kabala and located in Williamsburg. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in early 2020, when multiple complaints were filed regarding various issues including electrical problems (no lighting), plumbing concerns (bathtub/shower), flooring problems, and refrigerator issues - all of which were closed without inspection access being granted.

Prior to this, in 2019, there were notable incidents including a building-wide heat and hot water outage that was reportedly resolved upon HPD's response, and a series of ceiling-related paint/plaster complaints that resulted in violations. The property has displayed some concerning maintenance patterns, particularly in 2019 when multiple violations were documented in apartment 5L, including issues with bathroom fixtures, plaster surfaces, and reported pest infestations (both roaches and mice).

While the building has shown compliance in its most recent bedbug reporting (2023-2025) with zero infested units listed, and passed rodent inspections in 2019, the presence of multiple open violations from 2019-2020 suggests historical maintenance challenges. The building also received two bedbug-related violation notices in 2021 and 2022 regarding failure to file annual reports, though these notices appear to have been addressed in subsequent filings showing zero cases. The most recent bedbug reports from 2022-2025 indicate no infestations, and the building's inspection history shows recent compliance with rodent control requirements.
