80 Suydam Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

80 Suydam Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Bushwick, Brooklyn, owned by Jian Ren Chen and constructed in 2006. The property has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months, with a cluster of complaints filed on November 8, 2024, including reports of heating and hot water problems, flooring issues, broken window guards, wall concerns, carbon monoxide detector concerns, water leaks, sprinkler system problems, mold, window frame issues, and cooking gas problems. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) attempted to conduct inspections for all these complaints but was unable to complete the inspections.

However, on November 8-11, 2024, several Housing Maintenance Code Complaints were classified as emergencies, including issues with safety equipment (sprinkler system and carbon monoxide detector), heating systems, window safety, and mold, along with some non-emergency matters related to water leaks, wall conditions, flooring, and window frames. The building has a record of timely bedbug reporting, with no infestations reported in the last six filing periods from 2019 to 2025, showing consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements. A complaint regarding illegal conversion was filed in December 2023, but the inspector was unable to gain access during both attempts in June 2024.

Notably, the building has maintained a strong record of passing rodent inspections, with all inspections from 2019 through 2025 showing compliance. While the property has experienced various maintenance issues, the lack of access during multiple HPD inspections and the building's strong pest control record suggest some challenges in accessing units for inspection purposes rather than indicating a straightforward pattern of neglect or infestation. The most recent inspection results and complaint resolutions will be crucial to monitoring the building's current conditions and maintenance status.
