704 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 704 Putnam Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Dana Schneider, has a notable history of bedbug reporting compliance issues over the past four years. The property, classified as a HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A building and constructed in 1899, has accumulated four consecutive open violations between 2021 and 2024 related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug report under Housing Maintenance Code regulations.

These ongoing violations, which remain unresolved as of the latest available data in October 2023, suggest persistent noncompliance with this important tenant safety requirement. In terms of rodent control, the building has demonstrated recent responsible management, passing all initial inspections conducted in 2022, 2024, and most recently in June 2025.

Notably, there was one failed rodent inspection in August 2018, though a subsequent compliance inspection later that month resulted in a passing grade. The property has maintained an overall positive record in terms of rodent inspections since then, achieving consistent passing results for the past three years. While the building appears to have addressed its rodent management issues effectively, the recurring bedbug report violations indicate an area requiring ongoing attention to meet regulatory requirements and ensure resident comfort.
