The three-unit residential building at 1230 Putnam Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Jimmy Cohen, was constructed in 1910 and is classified as a HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A building. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues between 2021 and 2025, with the most concerning period occurring in mid-2022 when multiple violations were documented across different units, including pest infestations (both roaches and mice), water supply problems, and various maintenance issues such as non-functioning light fixtures and flooring concerns. During this period, both Apartment 2 and Apartment 3 were cited for serious issues including the need to abate pest infestations, while Apartment 2 also faced violations related to excessive hot water temperatures.

The building's maintenance record shows ongoing attention to rodent control, with multiple baiting sessions recorded between 2021 and 2022, though recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 show improved conditions with "Passed" results for rodent inspections. More recent history of the building indicates some regulatory compliance, with no recorded bedbug infestations in the last three annual reporting periods (2023-2025). The Department of Buildings record shows several construction-related complaints between 2021-2024, including concerns about illegal conversion and work beyond approved plans, though most were closed without violations being substantiated.
