1402 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
1402 Putnam Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building located in Bushwick and owned by Joel Fekete. Built in 1909, the building has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent years, particularly concerning heating systems, plumbing, and pest control. The most recent complaints and violations from 2025 highlight ongoing problems with heat and hot water (March and January 2025), while earlier incidents in late 2024 involved multiple unaddressed complaints regarding pests, plumbing, and an emergency concerning a broken window guard.
Inspection records from 2023-2024 show significant maintenance concerns in Apartment 3L, including multiple violations related to windows, doors, and rodent infestations on the property - though no bedbug incidents have been reported in the last several filing periods. The building's heating system has been a recurring issue, with multiple emergency complaints filed through HPD in December 2024 and 2025. The property has an active Environmental Control Board violation from 2023 regarding access to the heating system/boiler room and failure to maintain the boiler, with a penalty of $500 currently due.
Bait inspections in 2025 have documented ongoing rat activity, despite previous inspections showing passing results in 2024. The building's maintenance history shows repeated attempts by HPD inspectors to access units for necessary inspections, particularly in late 2024, when they encountered access issues while investigating various complaints, including those related to safety, plumbing, and general conditions. While some violations have been certified as corrected (e.g., specific repairs in Apartment 3L regarding windows and hallway conditions), the frequency and nature of complaints suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and system reliability.
