289 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
289 Putnam Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, owned by Barry Johnson and constructed in 1910. The building has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, having received open violations in 2024, 2023, and 2022 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code.
While the building's most recent bedbug report from May 2021 (covering the period from November 2019 to October 2020) indicated zero affected units, the ongoing violations suggest continued non-compliance with reporting requirements. In contrast, the building has demonstrated consistently good maintenance in other areas, particularly regarding rodent control, with all inspections between 2019 and 2025 passing successfully.
This includes eight consecutive passing rodent inspections from 2019 through 2025, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 confirming compliance with health standards. The building class is designated as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A," indicating a prior conversion to an owner-occupied building, and it maintains a three-story structure as per its original design. The persistent bedbug reporting violations, occurring annually from 2022 to 2024, represent the only significant maintenance issues on record, while the strong track record of passing rodent inspections suggests effective management of other pest control measures.
