303 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
303 Putnam Avenue is a 16-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1883, currently owned by Richard Rosan. The property has experienced persistent maintenance issues over the past two years, with particular concern regarding rodent activity. Between March 2023 and April 2025, the building underwent multiple rat inspections, all reporting rat activity.
The most recent confirmed rat sightings were reported in 2025, with follow-up compliance inspections validating ongoing infestations. The building has also faced significant heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints filed in late 2024 and early 2025, including an open complaint regarding heat and hot water problems in apartment 2B from October 2024. Additional maintenance concerns have emerged, particularly regarding door and window conditions throughout the building.
In 2025, three separate door-related complaints were filed and investigated, with violations issued in March 2025. The building's safety systems have also been a focus of concern, with Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded in 2024-2025 regarding missing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 1B, as well as a locked boiler room access issue documented in December 2023. While the property has maintained a relatively stable bedbug situation, with zero reported infestations in the most recent three annual reports (to December 2024), the continuing issues with heat, rodent activity, and door/window conditions suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent building inspection data through October 2023 indicates unresolved violations related to an obstructed fire escape and various heating system access issues, as well as open violations regarding a damaged stair thread and missing safety devices in apartment 1B.
