748 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, five-unit residential building at 748 Putnam Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Delbert Beasley and constructed in 1910, presents a concerning pattern of pest management compliance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there are persistent violations regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, with these citations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in 2024, all classified as Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations with open status.

These recurring violations suggest ongoing challenges with maintaining compliance in this critical area of building maintenance. The building's rodent inspection history shows a generally strong track record of passing inspections between 2018 and 2024, with only one recent failure noted in June 2025, which is particularly significant as it represents a potential emerging health concern that requires immediate attention.

Before this recent failure, the building had successfully passed multiple inspections over the years, including a period of eight consecutive passes between 2018 and 2019. While the building's overall rodent management practice appears to have been effective up until this recent inspection, the combination of the recent rodent inspection failure and the ongoing bedbug report compliance issues indicates that attention to pest management in this building has been inconsistent, with the most recent bedbug report compliance citation occurring just months prior to the 2025 rodent inspection failure.
