33 Withers Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

33 Withers Street is a 3-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building in Williamsburg, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Andrzej Roth. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, with multiple emergency complaints recorded between February 2023 and February 2024, though most were resolved promptly according to tenant reports or through HPD inspections. The building's boiler has been a consistent source of concern, with four complaints regarding defective/inoperative conditions in 2024 alone, leading to an Environmental Control Board violation in February 2024 for an inoperable spill switch and missing chimney cap, for which a penalty of $625 was imposed.

The building has undergone several inspections related to unsanitary conditions, particularly in 2021, addressing issues with pests and garbage storage, though no violations were issued in some cases. Compliance matters have included requirements to post proper smoke detector notices and heating system contact information in the public hall, which were addressed. The property has maintained a clear bedbug record since 2019, with no reported infestations in the annual filings, and passed rodent inspections in 2019, though an initial inspection in November 2019 resulted in failure for unspecified reasons.

Multiple complaints regarding appliance issues, including a gas range problem in February 2024, have been recorded, though some could not be inspected due to access issues. The building's regulatory history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding the heating system and boiler, with recent violations requiring correction and formal certification. While many complaints have been resolved relatively quickly, the recurring nature of heating system issues and occasional access problems for inspections may impact resident comfort and safety.
