Augrented Insights Report for 40 Putnam Avenue

The 59-unit, 7-story residential building at 40 Putnam Avenue in Clinton Hill, owned by Kirk Goodrich and completed in 2012, has experienced several recurring issues in recent years, particularly in 2024-2025. The building has had multiple water leak incidents with heavy flow reported in 2025, and inspection violations remain open for apartments 2A and 4E regarding water leaks and various maintenance issues including pest control needs, elevator problems, and HVAC ventilation concerns.

A significant pattern of elevator-related complaints emerged in late 2023, with at least ten separate complaints about multiple devices requiring attention between October and December 2023, leading to active Environmental Control Board violations with penalties totaling $6,250. The building's maintenance history shows ongoing challenges with heating systems, as evidenced by several heat/hot water complaints in January 2025, though these were reportedly resolved upon inspection. Apartment 2A appears to be a particular focus of maintenance concerns, with multiple violations documented in 2024-2025 regarding water damage, pest control, and general maintenance issues.

The property has experienced periodic bedbug infestations, though the most recent reports from 2024-2025 show no active infestations. Rodent inspections have produced mixed results, with the building passing inspections in 2023 but failing in August 2024, indicating potential pest management challenges. While some issues have been addressed and closed through inspections, several violations remain open as of 2024-2025, suggesting ongoing maintenance concerns that affect resident comfort and safety.
