401 Suydam Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The 6-unit, 3-story residential building at 401 Suydam Street in Bushwick, owned by Moshe Wilhelm, has experienced recurring pest and sanitation issues over the past two years. Most recently, in December 2024-January 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pests, though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access for proper inspection.
The property has a documented history of rodent problems, with eight inspections between 2022-2025 consistently showing rat activity, though there have been some bait applications and one passed inspection in June 2024. Rodent-related complaints were filed as recently as August 2024, and multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to pests and unsanitary conditions were recorded in 2024, including issues with mold that warranted emergency responses. The building's maintenance history reveals previous structural and safety concerns addressed in 2017, including roof leaks in the public hall and defective plaster repairs, which were certified as completed in 2019.
Important safety violations from 2017 required the posting of gas leak procedures and housing information guides, while 2015 violations involved entrance door repairs in apartment 3L. However, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2019-2024 reporting zero infested or re-infested units. Recent building permits issued in 2019 and 2024 indicate ongoing maintenance and improvements to the property, though the persistent nature of pest complaints suggests challenges in fully resolving these issues.
