236 Suydam Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The three-story, six-unit building at 236 Suydam Street in Bushwick, owned by Rocky Mai, has experienced persistent maintenance and safety issues since at least 2021. Most notably, there is a recurring pattern of rodent-related problems, with rat activity documented in multiple inspections between 2023 and 2025.
Specifically, the property has shown rat activity in eight of the nine inspections conducted since April 2023, though two inspections in 2023 and one in April 2024 passed. The building also has several open housing maintenance code violations, including an active violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report, a requirement that has been consistently cited in violations from 2021 through 2024. The building's inspection history reveals additional concerns, including a heat and hot water complaint in December 2018 that could not be verified due to lack of access during HPD's attempt to inspect.
Most critically, there are currently three active violations related to external low pressure inspection filings, dating back to 2018, 2021, and 2023. While these violations specifically relate to external systems rather than interior conditions, their presence alongside the other documented issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within this 1931 tenement building. The persistent nature of both the rodent and bedbug-related violations over multiple years, combined with the external inspection filing violations, indicates potential lapses in timely maintenance and regulatory compliance.
