1027 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The 16-unit, 4-story OLD LAW TENEMENT building at 1027 Putnam Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by David Salamon, has experienced ongoing maintenance issues since at least 2019. Most recently, in March 2025, the building had confirmed violations for water leaks and pest problems, while in July 2024, there were issues with mold and pests that HPD was unable to inspect. The building's heat and hot water systems have been problematic, with multiple emergency complaints recorded in 2020, particularly between January and June, indicating possible infrastructure deficiencies.
The property has a significant history of maintenance violations and safety concerns, including electrical and plumbing issues. Notable violations from 2018-2021 involved problems with the boiler system, electrical safety concerns, and inadequate egress from the rear yard. The building has also faced inspection failures regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements.
Though recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 show no infestations, rodent inspections have revealed inconsistent results, with "Rat Activity" recorded in 2024, though it passed inspection in May 2025. The most recent physical inspection in 2025 found no active rat activity, suggesting some improvement in pest control. While the building has corrected many past violations, including those related to individual apartment repairs (water leaks, floor damage, plumbing issues), the pattern of recurring maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and infrastructure reliability.
