1426 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The three-story, six-unit building at 1426 Putnam Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Chaskel Landau and constructed in 1909, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been a persistent pattern of heat and hot water problems, with multiple complaints filed in 2024 affecting the entire building as well as individual apartments. The building has also faced challenges with pest infestations, particularly during 2024, when three separate complaints about unsanitary conditions were documented, though no violations were issued following inspections.
More recent records show rat activity in April 2025, with subsequent baiting efforts conducted throughout May and June 2025, suggesting ongoing rodent management issues. The property has been subject to various code violations and maintenance issues, including emergency complaints about flooring conditions in late 2023 and early 2024. Multiple violations were documented in 2024 regarding self-closing doors, particularly affecting apartments 2R, 3R, and 3L, as well as maintenance issues in apartment 2R involving bathroom and kitchen fixtures, though these violations were subsequently closed.
The building experienced a smoke detector-related emergency complaint in March 2024. An external low pressure inspection violation issued in June 2023 remains active as of the latest records. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained an apparently successful track record with bedbug management, showing zero infestations reported in annual filings from 2021 through 2025.
