277 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

277 Putnam Avenue is a three-story, two-family residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, and owned by Hadiya Cameron Williams. The property, constructed in 1910, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems, with multiple complaints filed between 2019 and 2023 indicating either lack of access for inspections or temporary solutions.

More concerning is the building's persistent mold and pest (including roach and mouse) problems, with the most recent complaints in early 2023 resulting in various open Housing Maintenance Code violations, including issues with walls, cabinet conditions, and sanitation requirements in the second-floor apartment. The building's maintenance history shows significant challenges with basic infrastructure, including electrical systems (multiple outlet issues noted in 2022), plumbing concerns (radiator problems), and various unsanitary conditions.

While there were rodent activity detections in late 2022, the property has passed all subsequent rodent inspections from 2023 through 2025, suggesting some improvement in pest management. In terms of recent maintenance activity, several violations from 2022 related to mold, electrical, and plumbing issues were certified as resolved between late 2022 and 2023, indicating some progress in addressing historical problems. However, the frequency and variety of maintenance issues over the years, particularly during 2022-2023, suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and basic living conditions.
