1275 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
1275 Putnam Avenue is a 6-unit, 3-story old law tenement building located in Bushwick, built in 1903 and currently owned by Sara Chacon. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, most notably three building-wide emergencies in 2020, 2021, and 2022, though records indicate these systems were restored in each instance. A plumbing issue related to a sink was reported and addressed in May 2021.
The building underwent an inspection in September 2019 that revealed several maintenance issues, including unsafe electrical wiring in the first-story public hall, a broken subfloor on the third story, and problems with the building's fire escape drop ladder, all of which were subsequently resolved. More recent inspections in 2024-2025 showed improvement in overall maintenance, with no current bedbug infestations reported and successful rodent inspections, though there was one failed rodent inspection in April 2024. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status since 2019, with all annual reports showing zero infested or re-infested units.
Recent housing maintenance code violations were addressed, including a September 2024 citation regarding encumbrances consisting of household items in the third-story public hall. Historical records from 2020-2021 show the building had multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water issues, though these appear to have stabilized, as there have been no such complaints reported in the past two years. The building's 2023-2024 inspection history shows successful compliance with rodent control measures, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 passing without issues, suggesting improved overall building conditions.
