280 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The three-story, four-unit residential building at 280 Putnam Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Doni Pitchford, has a significant pattern of housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting. Since 2021, the building has accumulated four consecutive violations between 2021 and 2024, all related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports in accordance with NYC HPD regulations.
These violations, which remain open as of the latest records, suggest ongoing non-compliance with basic housing maintenance requirements. The building has also experienced fluctuating rodent activity, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 showing rat activity.
Prior to this, there had been a generally favorable record, with passed inspections in January 2025, July 2024, and January 2024. Notably, there were two instances of rat activity recorded in 2022 (August and July), indicating a temporary rodent problem that appears to have been resolved before the building's recent inspections. The property, constructed in 1878, has a documented history of rodent-related issues from 2022 to the present, with the most recent being the only active rodent violation as of mid-2025, suggesting that while the building has typically maintained rodent control requirements, there may have been recent challenges with pest management.
