509 Graham Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The three-story, four-unit tenement building at 509 Graham Avenue in Greenpoint, owned by Tomasz Suchowolak and constructed in 1925, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most significantly, in March 2023, the Department of Buildings issued a violation for the improper installation of window air conditioning units across all floor levels, though this violation was subsequently resolved with no penalty imposed.

The building has a recurring pattern of administrative violations requiring annual bedbug report filings under the Housing Maintenance Code, with documented violations in 2021, 2022, and most recently in March 2023, though subsequent filings from 2021-2023 have reported zero infested units, suggesting compliance with eradication protocols. The property has faced some pest control challenges, as evidenced by rodent inspections showing rat activity in October 2023, following a compliance pass in December 2023. Historical records from 2014 show multiple instances of rodent activity and bait applications, indicating a period of significant pest management efforts.

The building's infrastructure and safety systems were formally reviewed through 311 service requests, including a 2021 complaint about a daycare facility, which was investigated and closed by the Health Department. Two Department of Buildings complaints from 2020 and 2023 are on record, one related to permits (with inspector unable to gain access) and an enforcement work order that was resolved. While the building has documented violations and pest control history, recent bedbug reporting compliance and the absence of penalties for the most recent violations suggest improved regulatory adherence.
