414 Suydam Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The 3-story, 6-unit building at 414 Suydam Street in Bushwick, owned by Joel Rubin, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges since 2022, with the most pressing issues relating to water damage and sanitation. The property has documented multiple water-related problems throughout 2024, including several emergency-level water leak complaints in March 2024 involving heavy flow, and subsequent complaints in October 2024 regarding both heavy flow and damp spots, indicating ongoing moisture issues. These incidents led to multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in August 2024 concerning water leaks and damaged ceilings in the first-story public hall, which were officially certified for correction.
The building has also faced recurring pest and sanitation issues, with the most recent complaint in November 2024 regarding pests remaining unresolved due to inspection access issues. Additionally, there have been concerns about mold (October 2023) and window maintenance issues (May 2023). The property's maintenance history shows attention to regulatory compliance, with several code violations being addressed, including those related to fire safety and building notifications in 2022.
Rodent activity has been a consistent concern, with inspections from 2022 through 2025 showing regular evidence of rats, though baiting efforts were implemented during 2023-2024. Bedbug reports indicate minimal recent infestation activity, with only one unit affected in 2023. A 2020 complaint regarding unpermitted plumbing work was ultimately closed without resolution due to access issues. While some violations have been corrected and inspections passed, the recurring nature of water-related issues and sanitation complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges for the building.
