300 Suydam Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 3-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building at 300 Suydam Street in Bushwick, currently owned by Allie Dweck and constructed in 1931, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing struggle with pest control, particularly evidenced by multiple unsanitary condition complaints regarding pests between 2020 and 2023, with the most recent emergencies reported in July 2023.

The building has also faced significant infrastructure challenges, including two instances of water-related issues in 2022 (slow leak and damp spot), heating problems in 2021 (emergency complaints regarding entire building heat and hot water), and various plumbing and sanitation concerns. A thorough inspection in July 2023 revealed multiple open violations including a bedbug infestation in apartment 1L, door repairs needed for both the building entrance and vestibule, water leak issues in the first-story public hall, and deficiencies in fire safety notices for smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

While there has been consistent rodent monitoring, with inspections showing rat activity in 2024 and December 2024, recent reports indicate a 'Passed' status in 2025. Interestingly, despite the building's various issues, the Bedbug Reporting system shows no recorded infestations or eradications from 2020 to the present. The pattern of complaints suggests that while some issues have been addressed through inspections and violations, others persist, most notably in the areas of pest management and infrastructure maintenance.
