292 Suydam Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

292 Suydam Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently owned by Efrain Colon. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues over the past year, with four documented complaints between November 2023 and March 2024, all of which were marked as emergencies and required HPD intervention. Safety concerns were also prominent, with two separate incidents in June 2023 involving smoke and carbon monoxide detector issues, though only the smoke detector was verified as corrected upon tenant confirmation.

The building's maintenance history shows several instances of access issues during inspections, particularly in April 2023 regarding appliance problems, pest issues, and window frame concerns. Multiple housing maintenance code violations were recorded between 2023 and 2024, primarily relating to safety equipment requirements, building security, and maintenance of common areas. These included violations for improper posting of safety notices, broken security features, and ceramic tile repairs in the vestibule. More recently, rodent inspections in 2024 showed varying results, with rat activity noted in June and September 2024, though subsequent inspections in December 2024 and June 2025 passed.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all six annual reports since 2021 showing zero affected units. The most current data as of July 2025 suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance, particularly in the areas of heating and safety equipment. However, recent rodent inspections indicate improved pest management, and the regular bedbug reporting demonstrates consistent monitoring of infestation risks. The property has received multiple emergency interventions from HPD, suggesting persistent and recurring issues with building systems and resident safety equipment.
