382 South 4th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The 4-story, 9-unit tenement building at 382 South 4th Street in Williamsburg, owned by Andreas Steiner and constructed in 1920, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water over the past two years. Most recently, in April 2025, there was a building-wide heat and hot water outage, though conditions were reported to be restored during the HPD inspection. The building has seen multiple heat-related complaints, with the most significant cluster occurring between 2022 and 2025, including two incidents in 2025 alone.

In November 2024, several violations were recorded in Apartment 3 including issues with a loose kitchen sink faucet, missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, hot water temperature exceeding 130 degrees, and defective plaster/paint in the bathroom. The building has also experienced other maintenance issues, including floor problems, window frame concerns, and plumbing issues, all investigated by HPD in early 2025 though they did not violate housing laws. The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with multiple inspections noting rat activity between 2018 and 2023, and several bait applications recorded in 2023. However, a compliance inspection in December 2023 passed with no issues.

The building's maintenance records show attention to addressing violations, with several being certified as resolved by November 2024. In late 2024, several violations were addressed including egress blockages from fire escapes. The building has maintained a clean bedbug record across multiple annual inspections from 2020 through 2024, with no reported infestations. Two permits for work were issued in May 2019, though specific details of the work are not provided in the available records.
