15 Suydam Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

15 Suydam Street is a two-story, two-family residential building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Igor Buzhaker and located in Bushwick, Brooklyn. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most recent concerns emerging in February 2025, including problems with electrical lighting, water leaks, and wall plastering.

These followed a significant cluster of issues in late 2023, where the building faced multiple emergency complaints relating to unsanitary conditions, including mold problems, sewage issues, and ceiling plaster concerns in Apartment 2, for which violations were subsequently issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The building's history shows persistent maintenance challenges, including a documented pest problem in 2018 (specifically mice in Apartment 1) and plumbing issues affecting the bathtub/shower. More favorable aspects of the building's recent history include consistent passing inspections for rodent control from 2019 through 2025, suggesting effective pest management practices.

While there have been two recent complaints regarding illegal conversion investigations (in 2023 and 2024), inspectors were unable to gain access to the building during both attempts. The property also maintains a bedbug report from 2022 showing no infestations during the specified period (November 2020 - October 2021). In summary, while the building has demonstrated regulatory compliance in several areas such as rodent control and bedbug management, it continues to face recurring challenges with water, electrical, and structural maintenance issues that significantly impact resident living conditions.
