1104 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, three-unit building at 1104 Putnam Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Ryan Prathe, has experienced notable recurring issues over the past several years, particularly concerning basic utilities and safety compliance. Most recently, in September 2024, there were two documented power outages, and one heat/hot water complaint remained uninvestigated due to inaccessible apartments. The building is currently facing numerous open violations as of September 2024, including missing smoke detector notices, improper street number display, defective self-closing doors, and several notification requirements regarding gas leak procedures and carbon monoxide detectors.

The property has also experienced periodic rodent-related issues, with inspections between 2012 and 2025 showing generally passing results, though there were rat sightings reported in 2020 and 2024. Historical records indicate persistent electrical and lighting problems, with similar complaints about power outages and lack of lighting documented in 2020. The building's maintenance history shows regular bedbug reporting from 2020 to 2024, consistently showing zero infested units, suggesting effective pest management.

Multiple permits related to electrical and plumbing work were issued between 2018-2019, indicating some proactive maintenance efforts. The property has undergone several health and safety inspections, with the most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 showing no active violations. While the building has maintained a compliant bedbug reporting record and passed recent rodent inspections, the current open violations and recent utility issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly concerning compliance with safety notification requirements and prompt response to resident complaints.
