290 Suydam Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

290 Suydam Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Allie Dweck. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in March-April 2023, when multiple violations were documented in Apartment 1R, including water leaks in the kitchen and bathroom ceilings, problems with window frames, door frames, and ceiling plaster/paint. As of April 2023, this apartment was found to have defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, non-functioning windows, and faulty faucets.

Earlier issues in 2022 included lighting problems and mold, while 2021 saw complaints regarding flooring, lighting, and plumbing, though not all of these resulted in violations. The building has maintained a good record regarding pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations since 2020, as evidenced by six consecutive "0" infestation counts in filings from 2020 through 2024. Regular rodent inspections conducted every six months from 2019 through 2025 have consistently passed, indicating effective pest control measures.

The property underwent some improvements in 2018, with building permits issued for plumbing and electrical work. While the recent cluster of maintenance issues is concerning, it's worth noting that many historical complaints have been resolved promptly, and there have been no recurring infestations of bedbugs or rodents in recent years. The current open violations from 2023, however, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that may affect resident comfort.
