1232 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The two-story, three-unit residential building at 1232 Putnam Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Lorine Caughman and built in 1910, has a concerning history of violations, particularly related to fire damage and maintenance issues.
Currently, there are three open violations from 2023-2024 regarding the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports, and six open violations from February 2022 related to significant building damage, including fire damage affecting all three apartments (Basement Apartment 1, Apartment 2 on the first story, and Apartment 3 on the second story), broken or defective wood decking and asphalt materials, and missing glass panes in the skylight.
While the building experienced a bedbug treatment period from November 2020 to October 2021 with zero reported infestations, and complete eradications, it appears the bedbug reporting compliance has been problematic since then. On a positive note, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections, with the most recent passing inspection occurring in April 2025, and all previous rodent inspections since 2018 also yielding passing results.
