Augrented Insights Report for 985 Putnam Avenue

Located at 985 Putnam Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, this 3-unit, 3-story building owned by Anller Pena was constructed in 2006 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, in October 2024, there were serious heating and hot water system failures in Apartment 1, resulting in Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) violations that remain open.

The building has also grappled with persistent pest management challenges, particularly regarding bed bugs, with open violations from 2022 through 2024 related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports. Additionally, there has been consistent rat activity documented through multiple inspections between 2019 and 2025, with the most recent rodent inspection in May 2025 passing, but showing an ongoing pattern of infestations through 2024. The property has also faced various structural and regulatory scrutiny, with multiple complaints about illegal conversions documented between 2019 and 2020, though inspections did not warrant violations in these instances.

Access issues to the building's heating system were noted in October 2024 as a violation of the Administrative Code. Historical complaints from 2019-2022 included concerns about illegal curb cuts and parking violations, though these were either closed with no violation found or resolved without penalties. The building's maintenance record shows a mix of addressed and ongoing issues, with the most recent being the 2024 heating and hot water problems and the 2022-2024 bedbug reporting requirements.
