Augrented Insights Report for 293 Putnam Avenue

The three-story brownstone at 293 Putnam Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1910 and owned by John Pringle, Jr., has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with heating systems and water infrastructure, over the past two years. Most recently, in December 2024, there were multiple complaints about building-wide heat and hot water problems, with five emergency complaints filed between December 1 and December 14, though HPD faced access issues during inspections.

Prior to this, there was a persistent pattern of heating system complaints throughout 2024, with similar access problems noted in February 2024 and additional plumbing issues in December 2023. The building has also faced challenges with water infrastructure, including a heavy flow leak reported and subsequently addressed in June 2024. The property has open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements for 2021-2024, indicating non-compliance with annual reporting obligations.

On the environmental control side, there are active violations regarding unpermitted work from 2020-2021, including the installation of multiple air conditioning units and unauthorized signage, with significant penalties associated. Recent rodent inspections show a troubling pattern of rat activity between 2023 and 2024, though the most recent inspection in May 2025 passed. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure systems, as evidenced by the frequency of heat, water, and pest control complaints that have persisted over multiple years.
