167 Suydam Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 167 Suydam Street in Bushwick, owned by Deodat Dookhie, has experienced several significant maintenance and health concerns in recent years. The most pressing current issues involve rodent problems, with multiple inspections in 2024-2025 showing alternating patterns of rat activity and compliance, though a 2024 DOHMH inspection found violations warranting follow-up inspections.
The building has also faced substantial interior maintenance challenges, particularly in Apartment 2L, which has multiple open violations from an August 2023 inspection including water leak issues in both the kitchen and bathroom, problems with the ceiling in the kitchen, and various electrical and plaster defects. Other notable violations from 2023-2024 include defective light fixtures in the first-story public hall, a broken door closure in Apartment 2L, and a requirement to file an annual bedbug report. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of unresolved issues, with several open violations related to water damage, fire safety systems, and structural concerns remaining in 2023-2024.
However, the property has maintained an active bedbug control program, with three consecutive filings from 2023-2025 reporting no infested units. While some maintenance violations have been resolved, including various closed violations from August 2023, the building continues to grapple with periodic rodent activity and remaining open violations that affect resident comfort and safety. Recent rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with rat activity recorded as recently as 2024 and 2025.
