1120 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
1120 Putnam Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Bushwick, dating back to 1905 and currently owned by Huelando Bell. The property has experienced recurring indoor air quality issues in 2024, with two separate complaints in July related to ventilation problems and chemical vapors, though one of these was linked to an existing complaint. The building has an active Bedbug violation from April 2024 that remains open.
A significant cluster of complaints was recorded in September 2023, primarily affecting the second-floor apartment (Apartment 2), including issues with pests (rodent and cockroach infestations), ventilation problems, and various maintenance concerns. These violations include requirements for paint remediation, pest abatement, plaster repairs, and window guard installation. Earlier complaints from 2022-2023 also documented problems with windows, mold, and other unsanitary conditions. The building's maintenance history shows some recent improvements, with rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing, following a previous failure in late 2022.
Multiple 311 Service Requests between 2022-2024 have been recorded, particularly focusing on indoor air quality and ventilation issues. The Department of Buildings investigated a work without permit complaint in July 2024 but found no violations at the time of inspection. While some issues have been addressed, several serious violations remain open, particularly concerning pest infestations and general maintenance requirements in Apartment 2. The building's age and history of maintenance complaints suggest ongoing challenges with upkeep, particularly regarding ventilation, pest control, and general habitability requirements.
