Augrented Insights Report for 654 Putnam Avenue

654 Putnam Avenue is a 4-story, 9-unit brownstone built in 1930 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, currently owned by Alexander Horn. The building has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in April 2025, when multiple complaints were filed regarding ventilation, ceiling conditions, plumbing (including sink and water supply issues), flooring, pest control, door problems, electrical lighting, and appliance concerns (refrigerator and stove). While many of these complaints were documented as "attempted inspection unable to complete", the building did undergo rodent inspections in 2024-2025, showing rat activity in mid-2024 but passing a compliance inspection in June 2025.

The property has several active and unresolved violations from previous years, particularly regarding illegal occupancy and alterations. In November 2024, violations were issued for rodent infestations in apartment 2F, noting issues with both mice and roaches. There are multiple open violations from 2024 related to unauthorized alterations in apartment 1F, including an unapproved staircase installation, and concerning illegal rooming unit use in the basement.

The building also has active ECB violations from 2021-2022 related to failure to address illegally occupied areas and multiple past violations regarding boiler maintenance. Historically, the building has shown some issues with hot water temperatures, as noted in violations from 2024, and has required multiple inspections for rat activity, particularly in 2015 and 2022. The property has maintained an active bedbug prevention program since 2019, with most recent reports indicating no active infestations.
