43 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238
43 Putnam Avenue, a three-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1895 in Clinton Hill, is currently owned by Jacqueline Shapiro. The property is experiencing ongoing concerns related to construction work, with two active Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) complaints from May 2023 regarding lead dust affecting both common areas and individual apartments.
In addition, there was a temporary paint/plaster issue with walls reported in May 2023 that was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no violations were found. A violation was recorded in March 2022 concerning the failure to file the annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been rectified as subsequent filings show consistent reporting. Remarkably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past several years.
The most recent bedbug reports from 2023-2025 show zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, covering filing periods from November 2022 through October 2024. The property has also demonstrated compliance with required bedbug reporting obligations in recent years, with proper filings submitted in 2023, 2024, and 2025 - in contrast to the violation from March 2022. While the current lead dust issues are concerning, the building's historical and recent bedbug management record suggests effective pest control practices when appropriate attention is given to maintenance and reporting requirements.
