250 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

250 Putnam Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, owned by Dan Smulian and constructed in 1899. The building has demonstrated consistent maintenance and regulatory compliance over recent years, with particular attention to pest management.

Since 2021, the property has maintained an exceptional record with no documented bedbug infestations, as evidenced by four consecutive annual bedbug reports (2021-2024) showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The building has also undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 showing a "Passed" result, continuing a pattern of successful rodent management with no violations recorded since the initial rat sighting complaint in December 2021, which was promptly investigated by the DOHMH with no violations found. The property's maintenance history shows proactive management, particularly in 2019-2021 when multiple permits were issued for plumbing and general alteration work.

The building has been subject to routine inspections and has consistently passed all rodent inspections, with eight consecutive passing results between 2020 and 2025. While there were two Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded in 2021 and 2023 regarding the annual bedbug report filing requirement, these appear to be more procedural than indicative of any actual infestation problem, and the subsequent filings (2022-2024) show full compliance with no reported infestations. The building's overall record suggests attentive management and prompt response to regulatory requirements, with no documented history of significant resident safety concerns or maintenance issues.
