239 Suydam Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 6-unit, 3-story residential tenement building at 239 Suydam Street in Bushwick, owned by Alfred Liarda and constructed in 1931, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years. Most prominently, there has been ongoing rodent activity throughout 2024-2025, with multiple inspections by the Department of Health showing consistent rat presence.

A significant violation was issued in April 2023 for failing to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection, which remains active as of the latest data. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all recent annual reports (2020-2025) showing zero infested or eradicated units, though there were two Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021 and 2023 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports that were subsequently closed.

A smoking violation was reported and closed in mid-2024, though this appears to be an isolated incident. The property's rodent control response has been robust, with multiple bait applications recorded between June and September 2024, though these measures indicate persistent rat activity, as evidenced by several compliance inspection results showing "Rat Activity." The building has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2022, consistently reporting zero infestations, and has no other significant violations on record. While the recent focus on rodent control shows attention to maintenance requirements, the ongoing nature of these issues suggests challenges in achieving long-term pest management stability.
