Augrented Insights Report for 68 Putnam Avenue

The 7-unit, 4-story old law tenement building at 68 Putnam Avenue in Clinton Hill, currently owned by Rachel Phipps, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being recurring heat and hot water problems. Most recently, in December 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding lack of heat/hot water affecting the entire building, though these complaints were closed without resolution due to insufficient access for inspection.

A similar pattern emerged with a paint/plaster ceiling complaint in October 2023, which was closed without violations noted. The building's history shows ongoing maintenance challenges, including a notable series of violations from 2018-2019 related to safety concerns during construction work, including multiple sidewalk shed violations with addresses safety and structural concerns, leading to penalties totaling $10,000.

The property has shown some improvement regarding pest management, with recent bedbug reports (2021-2025) showing zero infested units, though there was a period of rodent activity in 2017 that required multiple bait applications. Historical violations from 2018 show various maintenance issues were addressed, including wall repairs and safety compliance matters, though some required follow-up inspections to confirm resolution. The building's recent history suggests ongoing infrastructure and maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building systems like heating and hot water, while showing improved pest control compliance in recent years.
