Augrented Insights Report for 554 Putnam Avenue

554 Putnam Avenue is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1899 and currently owned by Cynthia Ramirez. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, most notably in early 2024 when there were multiple heating and appliance-related complaints, including two heat/hot water emergencies in January and an appliance issue with an electric/gas range in February that HPD could not inspect due to access problems. A plumbing issue with a toilet was also reported and closed between November 2023 and January 2024.

The building has faced recurring documentation compliance issues, with violations recorded in 2022, 2023, and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations. Prior to these recent maintenance issues, the building had some concerns about security and safety features, with violations found in March 2023 regarding defective self-closing doors at the building entrance and first-story vestibule. The property has a mixed record regarding pests, with rodent inspections showing varying results between 2016-2024, though a recent June 2024 inspection passed.

Historical data shows the building has maintained a bedbug-free status according to annual reporting requirements from 2022 through present, with no reported infestations or reinfestations. The building underwent two CSE sweeps in late 2022 and early 2023 that resulted in no violations, and all housing maintenance code complaints from 2024 have been closed, though many required multiple reports before resolution. The property is classified as HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A, indicating it has undergone some form of conversion from its original use, though specific details of this conversion are not provided in the records.
