Augrented Insights Report for 231 Suydam Street

231 Suydam Street is a 6-unit, 3-story residential building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Michael Lambe. The property has experienced recurring issues with water leaks, with three separate complaints filed in October 2024 alone, including both slow leaks and damp spots. Other significant maintenance concerns include multiple electrical problems (including wiring issues), unsanitary conditions in garbage storage areas, and apartment-specific violations in Unit 1L involving plumbing, window, and bathroom maintenance issues.

The building's heating system has also faced challenges, with an emergency heat/hot water complaint in November 2020, and the boiler system was found to have defects in 2021, including a defective barometric damper and missing thermal spill switch. The property has undergone several inspections related to rodent activity, with mixed results between 2022 and 2025 showing both rat activity and compliance passes. Bedbug reporting requirements appear to have been met in recent filings, showing no infested or re-infested units from 2022 to 2023.

The building has had multiple inspection attempts for various complaints where inspectors were unable to gain access, particularly in 2020-2021, and has consistently received violations related to the annual bedbug reporting requirements between 2020-2024. While many complaints have been investigated and closed, some remain active, including a 2020 violation regarding a defective fire escape ladder. The property has also experienced issues with flooring conditions, as evidenced by October 2024 complaints, though HPD was unable to complete inspections of these conditions during that period.
