448 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-unit, three-story building at 448 Putnam Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Christopher Antista and constructed in 1915, has experienced persistent regulatory challenges over the past four years regarding bedbug reporting compliance. Between 2021 and 2024, the property has accrued four consecutive class A Housing Maintenance Code violations specifically related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with the most recent violation still remaining open as of April 2024.

While these administrative violations do not directly indicate a current infestation, they suggest ongoing challenges with compliance to housing regulations. On a more positive note, the building has maintained a record of successful rodent inspections, passing three consecutive inspections conducted in December 2019, September 2022, and most recently in June 2024.

This consistent record of rodent control compliance indicates attention to pest management in general, though the open bedbug reporting violations suggest a specific area of regulatory oversight that requires attention. The building's conversion class designation and its current three-unit configuration indicate that it has been designated as a Class A residential building under New York City regulations, despite its historical designation as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED."
