450 Suydam Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 450 Suydam Street in Bushwick, owned by Pedro Ramales, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. The property has ongoing open violations from 2021-2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, and two concerning safety equipment - missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors - in first-floor apartment 1R. A cluster of heat and hot water complaints emerged in late 2018, with reports of restored services, though access issues hindered some inspections.

The building has maintained a generally positive rodent inspection record, with most recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 passing without issues, though there was one failed inspection in 2020 for "Other Reasons". Historical data shows some concerning events, including a 2019 construction-related stop work order and a 2020 plumbing complaint that required multiple inspection attempts. The property has also had various permit activity, including an issued work permit in April 2019, though details on the specific work undertaken are not provided in the records.

The building's maintenance record shows a mix of compliance and ongoing issues, with multiple open violations as of 2025 that suggest areas requiring attention. Notably, the apartment-specific heat and hot water issues from 2018 represent the most significant pattern of tenant comfort concerns on record. The repeated need for bedbug reporting compliance and the 2018 safety equipment violations, while not direct threats to habitability, indicate some lapses in maintenance attention to regulatory requirements. Recent inspections have generally been more favorable, particularly regarding rodent control, though the presence of open violations suggests ongoing monitoring of building maintenance practices is warranted.
