276 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The four-unit residential building at 276 Putnam Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Stephanie Atherley and constructed in 1878, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety events over the past few years. Most notably, there was a cluster of maintenance issues in early 2020, including reports of unsanitary conditions (pests) and flooring problems, which resulted in violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

The building has shown consistent attention to pest management, with the most recent bedbug report filed in October 2024 indicating no infested or previously infested units for the period of November 2022 to October 2023. Recent rodent inspections from 2022 through 2025 have generally passed, with only one instance of rat activity noted in January 2022. The building has maintained regular compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements, with inspections from 2021 through 2024 showing this as a violation that eventually transitioned to compliance.

A significant cluster of violations was recorded in February 2020 regarding safety notifications, including requirements for smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and gas leak procedure postings, as well as the need to maintain an up-to-date inspection certificate display. These violations were all marked as open at that time. More recently, the building has undergone multiple successful rodent inspections, passing all tests from 2022 to 2025, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 showing continued compliance.
