Augrented Insights Report for 996 Putnam Avenue

The 6-unit residential building at 996 Putnam Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Rabi Yaghoubzadeh, has experienced recurring rodent issues over recent years, with the most recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 showing rat activity. Between April 2022 and February 2024, there were multiple complaints and inspections regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage and recycling storage, though no violations were ultimately issued. The building has faced various maintenance challenges, including plumbing issues (bathtub/shower complaints in 2023), water leaks, and several safety-related concerns.

Notable violations from 2023 include defective fire escape equipment, stairway guardrail issues, and problems with self-closing doors in common areas. The property has shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently reporting zero infested units since 2021. However, there are three open violations as of 2023-2024 related to failed external low pressure inspections.

Recent building maintenance history shows pattern of rodent monitoring and compliance checks, with inspections in 2024 and 2025 confirming rat activity. The building's infrastructure has faced recurring issues, particularly with water systems, as evidenced by multiple water leak complaints. Compliance with safety regulations has improved over time, though some violations remain active, particularly concerning fire safety systems and building security features. The property has undergone regular inspections and has maintained a generally active response to reported issues, though not all complaints result in violations being found upon inspection.
