371 South 4th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

371 South 4th Street is a 3-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building in Williamsburg, owned by Charles Schwartz and constructed in 1920. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints filed in 2025 alone, including emergency complaints for the entire building in March, February, and January. These complaints were either unverified due to lack of access or were reported as corrected after HPD's intervention.

The building has also faced water-related challenges, with slow leak complaints in 2024 (one of which resulted in violations) and a heavy flow water leak complaint in 2022. The most recent inspection in September 2024 revealed several safety concerns in Apartment 3L, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though some violations from earlier periods were closed. Additionally, there are open violations regarding self-closing doors and a doorstop issue at the vestibule, as well as ceiling repair needs in Apartment 3L.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of infrastructure issues requiring attention, particularly in the areas of water damage and safety systems. However, records indicate consistently zero reports of bedbug infestations since 2020, and a passing rodent inspection in December 2018. While the property has experienced various maintenance challenges, it's worth noting that many complaints are resolved or closed through inspections and corrective actions, though some issues remain open as of the latest available data.
