Augrented Insights Report for 495 Putnam Avenue

495 Putnam Avenue is a 4-story, 3-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Park Monroe II LLC and dating back to 1910. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most critical being a series of emergency complaints filed in January 2024 regarding electrical lighting problems and roofing concerns, both of which were closed when HPD couldn't gain access for inspection. Other notable issues include water leak problems (with violations issued), two pest-related complaints, and a previous heat/hot water complaint affecting the entire building in January 2022, where access was not granted for inspection.

The building has multiple open violations as of 2024, particularly affecting apartment 3A, including issues with window guards, water leaks, and various plaster and paint deficiencies. The property has maintained a proactive approach to bedbug management, with consistent reporting since 2019 showing no infested units, and the most recent report (June 2025) continuing this trend. Rodent inspections have generally been successful, with the most recent passing inspection in June 2024.

However, there was one failed inspection in December 2019 and instances of rat activity noted in late 2015. A bedbug-related violation was issued in April 2024 regarding the annual report filing. While many historical issues have been resolved, the building currently has multiple open violations from January 2024 inspection, including the need for window guard repairs and attention to water leak problems in apartment 3A.
