476 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The three-story, four-unit residential building at 476 Putnam Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Miles Goscha, presents a mixed record of maintenance and compliance issues since its conversion in 2018. The property, which was built in 1915, has multiple open violations as of 2025, including unresolved sprinkler system deficiencies (missing heads and testing equipment) and a failure to maintain a proper street number display, dating back to inspections in 2021.
A significant area of concern is the building's conversion history, with an open violation from 2021 regarding the need to file proper plans and obtain a certificate of occupancy for converting from 7 B rooms and 2 Class A apartments to the current 4 Class A apartments configuration. The building has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting requirements, receiving violations in 2021, 2022, and 2023 for failing to file annual reports, though recent filings from 2023-2024 indicate no current infestations or eradication efforts. While rodent inspections have shown recent compliance with a passing result in 2024, there was notable rat activity detected in 2019.
The property underwent multiple permitted repairs and improvements between 2018 and 2020, across various trades including plumbing, electrical, and general alterations, suggesting ongoing maintenance work during this period. A number of complaints were filed between 2019-2021 regarding construction safety, certificate of occupancy issues, and adjacent building protections, though most were closed without violations being warranted upon inspection. While there have been complaints about the building's condition and safety systems, many were resolved through proper documentation and corrections, though several open violations remain outstanding as of 2025.
