408 Suydam Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 408 Suydam Street in Bushwick, owned by Hui Xiang Mui and constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in July 2022, the building faced multiple violations related to paint/plaster and flooring issues, including problems with ceilings, walls, and floors, all of which were documented through 311 complaints and HPD inspections. The building has a history of heat and hot water problems, with emergency complaints reported in December 2020 and October 2021, though these issues were generally resolved promptly according to HPD records.

There were also two instances of mold problems reported in July and October 2021, with violations issued. The property has undergone various inspections and maintenance activities, with the most significant concentration of issues occurring during 2021-2022. In August 2022, multiple violations were recorded specifically related to Apartment 3L, including problems with windows, flooring, plaster surfaces, and electrical fixtures, though most of these violations were certified as closed by August 2022.

The building's recent history includes two instances of rat activity in 2024 and 2022, with initial inspections failing to pass for rodent activity during those years. However, recent rodent inspections in 2025 show improvements, with the building passing compliance inspections. Notably, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations since 2018, as evidenced by annual reporting. The Department of Buildings records show several construction-related complaints between 2018-2022, though most were closed without violations, including complaints about adjacent buildings not being properly protected and potential unauthorized plumbing work.
