98 Suydam Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The four-story, two-family house at 98 Suydam Street in Bushwick, owned by Vincent Lopez, has faced recurring maintenance issues since its construction in 2013, with the most significant recent problems occurring in early 2024. In February 2024, multiple emergency complaints were filed, including building-wide heat and hot water issues, water leaks (characterized as slow), and persistent mold concerns categorized as unsanitary conditions.

While these complaints were closed within a few weeks, it's notable that no violations were issued upon inspection by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The building has a documented history of heat and hot water problems, with similar complaints filed in January 2022, though inspectors were unable to gain access to the apartments for evaluation at that time.

The property has also experienced regulatory agency involvement beyond HPD, with a Department of Buildings complaint from September 2021 regarding failure to maintain conditions, though the inspector was unable to gain access during their second and final attempt in November 2021. While the building's relatively new construction (built in 2013) suggests it should have modern systems and infrastructure, the pattern of heat/hot water issues and unsanitary conditions (including mold) indicates ongoing maintenance challenges.
