1101 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 1101 Putnam Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Dor Chen, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. The 1910 building has faced recurring heat and hot water problems, with emergency complaints registered in October 2020 and June 2019, affecting both the entire building and Apartment 2 specifically.

The property has also had multiple violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2020-2024, though recent filings indicate no current infestation issues. Building safety concerns have been documented through various violations, including locked access to the heating system, a broken stair tread in the public hall, inadequate front entrance lighting, and issues with carbon monoxide detection in Apartment 3, all of which have shown progress towards resolution with certification dates extending into 2024. The building's recent maintenance history shows general improvement, with rodent inspections consistently passing since 2017, and no documented rat sightings since April 2021.

A significant building permit was issued in 2021 related to work under job number 340745091, though there was one incident in May 2021 when an inspector was unable to gain access during a complaint investigation regarding work without a permit. The most recent bedbug reporting period from November 2023 to October 2024 confirms no units were infested, continuing a positive trend in pest management. While the building has experienced multiple code violations over the years, recent inspections and permit activity suggest ongoing maintenance and regulatory compliance efforts by the current ownership.
