Augrented Insights Report for 216 Putnam Avenue

216 Putnam Avenue is a 4-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, containing 23 units and currently owned by Harry Stein. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with significant clusters of complaints between December 2023 and March 2024, including multiple reports of water leaks (both heavy and slow), unsanitary conditions including mold and pests, and various paint/plaster issues affecting ceilings and walls. Notably, there are currently open violations from March 2024 related to lead-based paint hazards and defective plastered surfaces in Apartment 14.

Previous maintenance concerns included water leaks and unsanitary conditions in Apartment 12 during December 2023, which were later resolved. The building's history shows some structural and safety concerns, including three 311 service requests for water-related issues in December 2023 and multiple complaints about paint/structure problems in early 2024. However, recent inspections for rodent control have consistently passed between 2019 and 2025, suggesting effective pest management.

The building's bedbug reporting records from 2021-2024 show minimal infestation history, with only one incident recorded in 2021 which was subsequently eradicated. Past complaints regarding illegal conversion (2020) and debris issues (2019) were investigated but no violations were found. While the building has demonstrated some ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding water and mold issues, it has maintained good standing in recent rodent inspections and has shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements.
