969 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The 8-unit, 4-story residential building at 969 Putnam Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Gregory Anderson, has experienced significant maintenance issues throughout 2025, particularly regarding water and heat systems. Most recently, in June 2025, there were reports of both slow water leaks and electrical range problems, with multiple heat and hot water complaints following a similar pattern in May 2025, affecting the entire building. Earlier in 2024-2025, the property faced multiple violations related to building maintenance code compliance, including issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and various plumbing problems.
The building's infrastructure concerns are further highlighted by multiple water leak complaints throughout 2025, some classified as heavy flow. The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with eight inspections between 2019 and 2025 showing varying results, including failed inspections for rat activity in 2023-2024. Building systems maintenance has been inconsistent, with three boiler-related complaints in 2022 and 2025, though inspections were often unable to gain access.
Several Housing Maintenance Code violations remain open as of the latest inspection records, particularly affecting apartments 1L and 2R, involving problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and building safety systems. The building's maintenance record shows regular inspections and complaint filings regarding various issues, though all previous bedbug reports between 2019-2025 indicate no infestations or eradication needed. The property has also passed recent rodent inspections in 2025, suggesting at least temporary resolution of that specific issue.
