447 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The three-story, four-unit building at 447 Putnam Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Seyed Moussavi and constructed in 1900, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing being heat and hot water problems. Most recently, in November 2023, there was another incident of heat and hot water loss, though this was resolved within two days. The building has had multiple documented heating system complaints, including a significant emergency complaint in December 2020 when access for inspection was denied.
Other maintenance issues have included problems with appliances (specifically electric/gas ranges), plumbing concerns with bathtubs/showers, and multiple bedbug report violations from 2021 through 2024 that remain open, indicating non-compliance with required annual bedbug reporting. The property has undergone regular safety inspections, with the most recent tenant safety inspections in May and June 2025 showing no significant violations. However, there is currently an active violation from September 2024 regarding failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection report.
The building's rodent inspections show a mixed history, with the most recent inspection in June 2024 passing, following previous failures in 2022 and evidence of rat activity in 2017, prompting the use of baiting methods at that time. The record shows multiple permits issued for various works in 2018, 2019, and 2023, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements to the property. The building's overall maintenance history reveals persistent heating system challenges and periodic pest control issues, while safety inspections have generally been favorable in recent years.
