404 Suydam Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 6-unit, 3-story building at 404 Suydam Street in Bushwick, owned by Elya Braver, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in late 2024, there were multiple complaints and violations related to heat/hot water and gas appliance issues in apartment 1L, including problems with cooking gas and an electric/gas range. These violations were marked as Class C and were subsequently certified as corrected.

The building has a notable history of pest-related issues, with multiple sanitary condition complaints regarding pests reported between 2022-2024. While some of these complaints resulted in inspections with no violations, others required correction of unsanitary conditions. The property has also faced infrastructure and safety challenges, including an emergency heat/hot water complaint in November 2024 and a general cooking gas complaint around the same time. A significant cluster of violations was recorded in October 2022, including issues with the heating system access and several posting requirements that were later certified as corrected in 2024.

The building's rodent inspection history shows periods of rat activity in 2024, though more recent inspections in 2025 showed compliance. The Department of Buildings records from 2018-2021 indicate attempts to address plumbing work concerns, though inspectors were often unable to gain access during inspections. More recent bedbug filings from 2022-2025 show no infestations. The current state of the building suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly related to heating systems and general upkeep, though many recent violations have been addressed through certification of correction.
