1430 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
1430 Putnam Avenue is a 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building located in Bushwick, built in 1909 and currently owned by Jack Zimmer. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most recent cluster of complaints (January 2025) including problems with doors, windows, flooring, water leaks, electrical outlets, appliances, general ventilation, and both mold and pest issues - all of which HPD was unable to inspect during their attempts to investigate.
These complaints were followed by Housing Maintenance Code Complaints in February-March 2025, addressing similar issues including flooring problems, unsanitary conditions, and water leaks. The building has a documented history of issues dating back to 2021-2022, including violations related to inadequate hot water supply in Apartment 2L, mold in Apartment 3L, various repairs needed for plastered surfaces and paint, and multiple issues with the roof causing leaks.
While the building has maintained a bedbug-free record according to its annual reporting from 2019-2024, it has faced persistent rodent activity challenges, with multiple inspections between 2020 and 2025 indicating rat activity, though bait was applied during some of these inspection periods. The most recent rat activity was confirmed in April 2025, suggesting an ongoing pest management challenge.
