1044 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 1044 Putnam Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Perl Weisz, has demonstrated ongoing infrastructure and maintenance challenges since 2022. Most recently, in May 2024, there was a power outage that resulted in violations being issued.

The building has experienced persistent heating system issues, with multiple radiator-related complaints between 2022 and 2024, particularly affecting apartment 4. The property has also faced multiple safety concerns, including defective fire escape components (still showing as open violation since December 2022), various electrical problems including exposed wiring in apartment 4 (July 2024 violation), and multiple plumbing issues including concerns about sink functionality (March 2024). The building's maintenance history shows concentrated periods of issues, particularly between November 2023 and July 2024, when multiple complaints were filed and subsequently addressed, though many only resulted in "no violations" findings.

During this period, multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were documented and subsequently closed, including issues with door functionality, wall and ceiling maintenance, and safety device compliance (carbon monoxide and smoke detectors). The property has consistently reported no bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods from 2020 to 2024, though recent rodent activity has been documented, with the most recent compliance inspections in 2024 noting rat activity. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing oversight of various systems is required, with a pattern of both emergency and non-emergency issues being reported and addressed through HPD inspections and Housing Maintenance Code violations.
