186 Suydam Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

This three-story, six-unit residential building located at 186 Suydam Street in Bushwick, owned by Candido Macareno, has a documented history of safety and maintenance issues spanning several years. Most recently, in January 2025, the building experienced multiple maintenance issues including unsanitary conditions with pests, and problems with plumbing in both sinks and bathtubs/showers, as well as refrigerator issues, all of which were categorized as non-emergency incidents. The building has undergone regular bedbug inspections from 2020 to 2024, with all reports showing zero infested units during the respective reporting periods.

A significant pattern of rat activity has been documented between September 2023 and April 2025, with multiple instances of bait application and inspections showing either rat activity or compliance, though the most recent April 2025 inspection passed without issues. The building's history includes several important safety violations that were addressed through housing maintenance code inspections. In March 2019, inspections revealed issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and window guards, all of which resulted in violations that were subsequently corrected.

Additional violations were recorded in 2019 related to bedbug reporting requirements, and notices regarding gas leak procedures, though most of these were certified as corrected by November 2019. The building had one open violation as of September 2019 regarding record-keeping requirements in apartment 3L. While the building's recent records show regular inspection activity and mostly resolved violations, the recurring rat activity and periodic maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and pest management.
