Augrented Insights Report for 649 Putnam Avenue

649 Putnam Avenue is a 6-story, 18-unit residential building constructed in 1965 and currently owned by Carolyn Aldrick. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most notable being multiple water-related problems. In October 2024, HPD documented both a slow water leak and window frame issues, with violations issued that require correction.

The building also faces significant outstanding violations as of November 2024, including concerns about missing carbon monoxide detectors, damaged windows, multiple elevator-related issues, and problems with self-closing doors. There is an open violation regarding the building's failure to display its energy efficiency score and grade, as well as several open violations related to benchmarking report filings. The property has a documented history of various infrastructure challenges, including elevator problems (noted as "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" multiple times in recent years), boiler issues, and recurring pest control concerns.

While the building's most recent bedbug reports from 2020-2021 showed no infestations, rodent inspections in 2024 indicated rat activity. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of persistent problems, particularly with building systems such as elevators, water infrastructure, and safety equipment, though some earlier issues from 2018-2020 regarding the boiler system appear to have been resolved or are no longer active. The property has documented six months of open violations regarding benchmarking reports in 2024, indicating potential issues with regulatory compliance.
