232 Suydam Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 232 Suydam Street in Bushwick, owned by Adeline Louis-charles, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there was a heat and hot water emergency documented in late 2024 that remains unresolved, with HPD unable to gain access to inspect the reported conditions. The building currently has two open violations from December 2024, requiring repairs to a defective self-closing vestibule door and exposed electrical wiring in the first-story public hall.
There is also an open violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though previous years' filings (2021-2022) indicated no infestation leading to this year's requirement. The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections between 2023 and 2025, with several showing rat activity throughout 2023, though recent inspections (2024-2025) have passed. The building's inspection history reveals recurring issues with both pest control and basic maintenance requirements. Between 2021 and 2024, there have been consistent bedbug reporting requirements, though the most recent 2023 report showed no infestation.
The property has faced multiple rodent inspections, particularly in 2023, showing ongoing challenges with vermin control. Earlier maintenance issues included a paint/plaster complaint in December 2019, which was inspected with no violations found. A structural stability complaint from 2019 related to a nearby construction project was also investigated but found no violations. The building's documented history suggests ongoing challenges with basic building systems and maintenance requirements, particularly regarding heating systems and pest management, with the most pressing current concerns being the unresolved heat/hot water situation and open safety violations from December 2024.
