1394 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The four-story, four-unit building at 1394 Putnam Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Luis Cruz and constructed in 1905 as a New Law Tenement, has demonstrated a consistent record of compliance with key health and safety regulations over recent years. The property has undergone regular inspections and successfully passed all rodent inspections from 2012 through 2025, indicating effective pest management practices.

While the building experienced three consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2023 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, these violations were promptly addressed and closed. Significantly, the most recent bedbug reports for the periods ending October 2024 and October 2023 showed no reported infestations, with the previous infestation from 2020-2021 being fully eradicated.

The building's inspection and reporting history suggests that both the owner and HPD have maintained a focus on addressing pest-related issues, with recent records showing no active infestations and successful compliance with rodent management standards. The property has maintained its four-unit configuration and building class, with no significant regulatory violations or safety concerns reported in recent years that would impact resident experience. The consistent passing of rodent inspections, combined with the recent absence of bedbug infestations, indicates improved pest management practices in recent years, particularly following the closure of previous bedbug reporting violations.
