1228 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 6-unit, 4-story building at 1228 Putnam Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Cynthia Ramirez, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concern being a heat/hot water emergency complaint in December 2024. This was not able to be investigated by HPD due to lack of building access. The property has seen recurring heat and hot water issues, with three separate complaints recorded between 2020 and 2024, and indoor air quality concerns regarding ventilation in 2021.

Multiple complaints were filed in 2021 regarding construction-related issues, including claims of work being done contrary to approved plans, though inspections did not result in violations being issued. The building also had a brief period of immediately hazardous ECB violations in 2021, with nine related violations recorded between February and September 2021, though these were subsequently dismissed or downgraded. The property has generally maintained a good record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the 2023-2024, 2022-2023, or 2021-2022 reporting periods.

Other maintenance issues documented include a window frame complaint in 2020 (which resulted in no violations) and an asbestos complaint in 2020 that also found no violations. The building's recent inspection history shows limited violations, with most complaints being resolved without penalties or requiring corrections. While there have been multiple complaints filed, most were either addressed promptly or resulted in inspections that found no violations. The property has also undergone routine fire safety inspections, though no major issues have been recorded in recent years.
