523 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The three-story, three-unit residential building at 523 Putnam Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Jean Totten, has been under consistent scrutiny for bedbug reporting compliance since 2021. The building, constructed in 1901 and classified as Class A, has received four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violation notices from 2021 to 2024 for failing to submit required annual bedbug reports to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), and these violations remain open as of 2025.
While these violations relate to reporting requirements rather than active infestations, their consistent occurrence over multiple years indicates an ongoing issue with compliance rather than actual infestations. On the positive side, the property has successfully passed rodent inspections in September 2022 and June 2024, suggesting good maintenance standards in this area.
Most recently, in May 2025, there was a DOHMH inspection request regarding an unsanitary animal situation, though the inspector was unable to access the property for evaluation. The building's documented history shows no major safety violations or significant resident complaints apart from the aforementioned issues, but the pattern of bedbug report violations over multiple years is notable.
