402 Suydam Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 402 Suydam Street in Bushwick, owned by Deodat Lowtan, has a significant history of maintenance issues and violations since 2022, with particular concerns about safety and habitability. Most recently, in April 2025, there were urgent safety concerns regarding a broken or missing window guard, though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to verify this complaint.
The building has experienced recurring electrical problems, with multiple power outages and lighting issues documented between 2022 and 2024, including an immediate emergency lighting problem in July 2023 and a similar power outage in May 2024. There have been persistent issues with both electrical systems and interior maintenance, with violations issued in 2023-2024 for ceiling paint and plaster problems. The building has ongoing compliance obligations related to lead paint hazards, with open violations from 2024 indicating failure to provide required documentation and properly notify occupants about lead paint risks.
The property has experienced rodent activity, with mixed inspection results between 2022 and 2025, though a March 2025 inspection passed. Notable structural and safety concerns were identified in November 2024, including issues with a self-closing door to the roof at the bulkhead, electrical service to ceiling fixtures, and various safety concerns that required immediate attention. The building's enforcement history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, with several complaints in 2022-2024 relating to mold, flooring, and various electrical systems, though many of these issues were classified as non-emergency or were eventually closed after inspection.
