479 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, two-unit building at 479 Putnam Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Lorraine Digregorio, has had notable regulatory interactions over the past several years. Most recently, the building has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the 2024 report showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units for the period November 2022 - October 2023.

The property has maintained rodent control measures, with the most recent inspection in June 2024 resulting in a passing grade, following earlier concerns in 2019-2020 when rat activity was documented and bait was applied multiple times. The building's history shows recurring bedbug reporting violations between 2021-2023, though these appear to have been resolved through subsequent compliance.

Two Department of Buildings complaints were lodged in 2021 regarding work without proper permits, including an Environmental Control Board violation with a penalty of $3,125 for unauthorized renovations and electrical work, though records indicate these were ultimately closed with "No Violation Warranted" and "Stop Work Order Fully Rescinded" dispositions. Regular bedbug reporting has since resumed with appropriate filings in 2023 and 2024, indicating improved compliance with housing maintenance code requirements. The building appears to have stabilized in recent years, with the most current inspections showing no active pest infestations and improved regulatory compliance.
