407 Suydam Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

407 Suydam Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1931 in Bushwick, currently owned by Abe Green. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably between 2021-2023. There were multiple water leak incidents in August 2021 (both slow and heavy flow), which led to significant mold problems in apartment 1L, including visible mold in bathrooms, hallways, and walls, as well as standing water throughout the lower level hallway.

These issues were addressed through various Housing Maintenance Code violations that were subsequently closed. The building has also had recurring rodent issues, with documented rat activity in December 2021, August 2022, and organic rat sightings in 2021, though recent inspections in 2024-2025 show compliance with rodent control measures. More recent inspections show some improvement in overall building conditions, with the most recent rat inspection in May 2025 passing without issues.

The building has maintained a clear bedbug record from 2021 to 2024, with no reported infestations during the annual reporting periods. However, there were two instances of incomplete bedbug reporting violations in 2023-2024, though these were eventually closed. Other historical violations included issues with self-closing doors and fire safety equipment in apartment 1L, including problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, all of which have been addressed and closed. The building's inspection history suggests ongoing maintenance efforts, particularly in managing water-related problems and rodent control, with more recent records indicating improved compliance with housing maintenance codes.
