296 Suydam Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 296 Suydam Street in Bushwick, owned by Luis Torres, has experienced recurring issues with regulatory compliance over recent years. Most notably, there have been four consecutive Open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 to 2024 regarding the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports, with the most recent citation still active as of April 2024.
The building has also faced Department of Buildings violations for failing to submit required safety inspections, including an active violation from June 2023 for not filing the 2020 external low-pressure inspection report, and a similar violation from November 2019 regarding the 2017 boiler inspection. While the building has maintained generally good sanitation standards as evidenced by passing all rodent inspections except for one incident of rat activity in June 2024, the pattern of repeated violations concerning bedbug reporting requirements and inspection filings suggests ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance and building oversight.
The property, constructed in 1931, has successfully passed multiple rodent inspections conducted between 2020 and 2025, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing compliance. However, the persistent open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements and safety inspection filings are the most significant concerns on record, particularly as they could impact resident safety and comfort.
