297 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The three-unit residential building at 297 Putnam Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Jacib Friedman and constructed in 2004, has experienced persistent pest management challenges over the past several years. Most notably, the property has been subject to multiple rodent-related incidents, with eight recorded inspections in 2024 alone showing varying levels of rat activity, though the most recent inspection in March 2025 resulted in a passing grade.
The building's management has maintained regular engagement with pest control services, evidenced by bait applications in late 2024. Additionally, there have been recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with violations noted annually from 2021 through 2024 regarding the failure to file mandatory bedbug reports with HPD, though the most recent filing in August 2024 showed no infested units during the 2022-2023 reporting period. A past housing maintenance complaint from 2019 regarding mold was closed due to inability to gain access for inspection.
More recent pest management efforts appear to have stabilized the situation, with the building passing its most recent rodent compliance inspection and showing no new bedbug infestations in the latest reporting period. The pattern of violations and complaints, particularly regarding rodent activity and bedbug reporting, suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and compliance requirements, though recent inspections indicate improved conditions. The property's location, classification as a three-story walk-up, and ownership structure are typical for the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, where such buildings are common.
