1064 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
1064 Putnam Avenue is a three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement built in 1905, currently owned by Larry Hirscfield and located in Bedford-Stuyvesant. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with eight documented complaints between 2019-2023, including a recent December 2023 complaint about lack of heat/hot water affecting the entire building, which HPD was unable to verify due to lack of access, and a September 2021 complaint affecting an individual apartment that resulted in violations.
The property has undergone several maintenance and repair episodes, particularly in Apartment 1A, where recent violations (2024) included issues with ventilation systems, closet doors, window glass, and instances of rodent and roach infestations. Apartment 3B also showed ventilation system problems and smoke detector issues in 2022. The building's history includes three Department of Buildings investigations regarding illegal hotel rooms and conversions between 2018-2019, though no violations were substantiated at the time of inspection.
The property currently has an active DOB violation (2023) for failure to file a 2020 external low-pressure inspection. However, recent inspections have shown no current bedbug infestations (as of 2025) and passed rodent inspections in 2025, 2024, and 2022, indicating improved pest control measures. The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention to heat and maintenance issues, though access limitations have sometimes prevented thorough inspections.
