446 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The three-unit, three-story residential building at 446 Putnam Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Karen Green, has been facing persistent regulatory challenges over the past several years, with the most concerning issues relating to compliance with health and safety requirements. Most notably, there are three open Class C violations from November 2023 concerning lead-based paint hazards: one for failing to notify occupants of such hazards, another for not providing required records related to lead paint inspections and remediation, and a third open Class A violation from April 2024 regarding the mandatory annual bedbug report filing with HPD.
This pattern of non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements has been documented annually since at least 2021, with violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. The building has experienced several rodent-related inspections, with the most recent occurring in June 2024, which passed.
This follows a typically compliant history, including a passed inspection in September 2022 and a January 2020 compliance inspection also showing no issues. However, it's worth noting that there was documented rat activity in December 2019. The building, constructed in 1915 and now classified as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS B," appears to be facing ongoing challenges with maintaining compliance with basic health and safety requirements, particularly in relation to lead paint and bedbug reporting obligations.
