482 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, three-unit building at 482 Putnam Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Nadege Baron, has experienced several noteworthy maintenance issues since 2021. The most significant recent concerns were two separate incidents in February 2022 involving heat and hot water outages throughout the building, with one incident remaining unverified due to inspection access issues, though heat and hot water was reportedly restored in the other case.

The building has consistently faced scrutiny regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with violations issued in 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024 for failing to file the required annual bedbug report with HPD, though the most recent filing from September 2023 indicates no infestation during the 2021-2022 reporting period. Additional maintenance violations were recorded in February 2022, including issues with self-closing doors at the front entrance and vestibule, missing wood balusters in the public hall stairs, and requirements to post proper emergency procedures and housing information notices - though these violations were certified as corrected by March 2022.

The building has had three consecutive successful rodent inspections in 2019, 2022, and most recently in June 2024, indicating general compliance with basic public health standards. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues in recent years, many of the earlier violations appear to have been addressed, though the recurring bedbug reporting violations suggest ongoing compliance challenges.
