20 Suydam Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The two-family house at 20 Suydam Street in Bushwick, constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Rao Rehman, has experienced a recurring pattern of issues that warrant attention. Most notably, in May 2023, serious problems were documented in Apartment 2, including defective plaster and paint conditions affecting the ceiling in the fifth room from the north at east, as well as defective carbon monoxide detecting devices throughout the apartment.

While these violations were officially noted by both the Housing Maintenance Code and the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, their current status remains "Open," indicating they have not been fully resolved as of the latest available data. The building has maintained an impressive record of passing rodent inspections, with successful results documented consistently from 2019 through 2025, suggesting effective pest management practices are in place.

The property has undergone regular rodent inspections approximately every six months, with the most recent occurring in May 2025. While the rodent control record is commendable, the unresolved housing maintenance violations from May 2023, particularly regarding safety equipment (carbon monoxide detectors) and building maintenance (plaster and paint conditions), represent the most significant ongoing concerns for this property. The building's maintenance history also shows a lack of documented violations for other units or common areas, though this may not necessarily reflect their condition.
