172 Suydam Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
172 Suydam Street is a 3-story, 8-unit residential building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Avrumi Licht. The property has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues over recent years, with the most recent concerns emerging in 2024 including mold, lighting, and rodent-related problems.
Notable safety-related complaints include four separate reports regarding smoke detector issues in 2020 (though inspections were unsuccessful due to access issues), and a fire escape inspection in 2023 that also could not be completed due to access denial. While the building has passed several rodent inspections in 2025, 2024, and 2023, there was documented rat activity determined through inspections in April 2024 and April 2022. The building's maintenance history shows some persistent issues, including a water leak (both heavy and slow) documented in 2020, and a mold violation in Unit 3R from 2019 that required remediation.
More recent violations include a 2024 citation for accumulated refuse in the building's front yard. Importantly, there is an active DOB violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection documentation. The building has maintained a clean bedbug history, with zero reported infestations or treatments across multiple annual reporting periods from 2021 through 2024.
