Augrented Insights Report for 1701 Putnam Avenue

The 4-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 1701 Putnam Avenue in Ridgewood, built in 1914 and owned by Larry Hou, has experienced several notable issues over recent years. Most concerning are ongoing food safety problems, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) involved in multiple investigations between 2024-2025, including active investigations in 2025 regarding spoiled food and a previous incident involving foreign objects in food in 2024.

The building has generated consistent Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2024, though recent bedbug reports from 2025 indicate no active infestations during the 2023-2024 period, with all units previously treated being listed as eradicated. The property has undergone multiple pest control interventions, with regular rodent baiting activity recorded between 2022 and 2024, and inspections in 2024 indicating continued rat activity.

There have also been several complaints regarding building safety and maintenance, including issues with falling signs in early 2025, work done without permits in mid-2024, and concerns about building stability in 2021, though inspections did not find violations in these instances. A reported issue with an electric/gas range from late 2020 through early 2021 resulted in a closed complaint due to inspection access issues. The building's various health and safety concerns, while showing some improvement in recent bedbug and food safety compliance, indicate ongoing challenges with pest management and building maintenance.
