337 South 4th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 337 South 4th Street in Williamsburg, owned by Paul Caine and built in 1910 as an Old Law Tenement, has recently experienced multiple concerning events regarding basic services. In November 2023, the building faced simultaneous complaints about a lack of heat/hot water and a power outage, with the HPD unable to gain access to verify the heating issues, though they conducted an investigation into the electrical problem without issuing violations. These incidents were classified as emergencies in the Housing Maintenance Code system.

The building has maintained a consistent record of filing bedbug reports showing no infestation or eradication cases between 2022 and 2025, suggesting proper compliance with pest management protocols. Historically, the property has demonstrated good rodent control, passing inspections in 2012 and 2018, with bait application occurring in 2012. In terms of violations, there are recurring notices (2021-2024) regarding the filing of annual bedbug reports, though these have all been marked as "Close" in the system.

A complaint in December 2022 regarding work without a permit was investigated and found to warrant no violations. Most recently, in 2024, a permit was issued for work described as "AL" with job number 321701690. The building's records show regular compliance with various health and safety regulations, though the recent heat/hot water and power outage issues raise concerns about the building's current infrastructure reliability.
