994 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The 6-unit, 3-story building at 994 Putnam Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by R. Christopher Bramwell, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in May 2025, the property faced health department scrutiny due to standing water and rodent conditions, with a summons issued for standing water and an access issue preventing rodent inspection.
The building also experienced heat and hot water issues affecting all units in November 2024, though these were reportedly resolved by the time of inspection. The property has a notable history of rodent-related problems, with multiple inspections showing rat activity in 2024 and 2022, though a June 2025 inspection passed. Noteworthy violations include a 2015 requirement for a carbon monoxide detector in apartment 1L, which was certified as resolved in 2019.
The building's bedbug monitoring records show consistent compliance, with all annual reports from 2019 to 2025 indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2023 and 2024 specified the need to file annual bedbug reports, though the building's recent filings have been in compliance. While the building has passed several inspections for rodent activity and maintained bedbug-free status, the recent 2025 water-related violations and prior heat/hot water issues suggest ongoing infrastructure maintenance challenges. The property, constructed in 1905, is classified as an "Old Law Tenement" and has undergone various inspections and monitoring efforts to address safety and hygiene concerns over the years.
