651 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The three-story, three-unit residential building at 651 Putnam Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Leslie Chapman-Summerville, was constructed in 1899 and has experienced several notable events in recent years. The most significant incident occurred in January 2019, when the entire building faced heat and hot water issues that prompted multiple emergency Housing Maintenance Code complaints and inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though these problems appeared to be resolved promptly as tenants reported restoration of services.
The building currently has open violations from 2021 through 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, which could indicate issues with compliance rather than current infestation problems, as inspections in 2024, 2022, and 2018 all passed rodent inspections. More recent inspections have shown generally good conditions, with the most recent rodent inspection in July 2024 passing.
An investigation into a complaint about unauthorized work in October 2021 found no violations at the time of inspection. The building's heat and hot water system has been stable since the 2019 incidents, and while the open bedbug report violations are noteworthy, there have been no documented bedbug complaints in the available data. The building's history of passing rodent inspections suggest reasonable attention to pest control, though the recurring bedbug report violations indicate some oversight in annual reporting requirements.
