356 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The three-story, three-unit residential building at 356 Putnam Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Naomi Bethea, was constructed in 1883 and has undergone a conversion to Class A status. The property currently has multiple open housing maintenance code violations related to the annual bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent citation issued in April 2024, and consistently dating back to at least 2021.
Additionally, there is a concerning pattern of unaddressed Department of Buildings violations, with six active citations issued between April 2022 and September 2024 regarding the failure to file mandatory external low pressure inspections for the years 2018 through 2023, plus an earlier violation from January 2020 for the 2017 boiler inspection. On a more positive note regarding resident quality of life, the building has shown consistent improvement in rodent control, with recent inspections in January 2025 and July 2025 passing with no significant issues.
While there was one instance of rat activity detected in July 2024, this appears to have been addressed, as evidenced by subsequent passing inspections. The building's inspection history shows regular attempts to maintain compliance with various health and safety requirements, though the recurring violations regarding bedbug reporting and safety inspections suggest ongoing administrative oversight challenges that may affect resident comfort and safety. The most recent rodent inspections indicate successful pest management efforts, particularly in 2025.
