1721 Putnam Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

1721 Putnam Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building in Ridgewood, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Keqi Wei. The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues in recent years, most notably in 2023 when multiple violations were issued for failing to file required external low-pressure inspections for the years 2018-2022. These violations were ultimately dismissed in August 2023.

The building's pest control record shows consistent monitoring for bedbugs between 2020-2024, with no reported infestations in any of the documented years. However, there is a concerning pattern of rat activity noted in recent years, with the most recent inspections in September and November 2024 indicating rat presence, following several years of rat-related issues in 2011. The building's permit history shows that multiple permits were issued in 2018-2019 for work categorized under "EW" (which typically refers to exterior work), though specific details of the work performed under these permits are not provided in the available data.

While the building has passed several rodent inspections in the past (2014-2017), the recent findings suggest a resurgence of rodent activity. The building's record shows a relatively stable history of occupancy from 2020 to 2025, with no reported issues of bedbug infestations in the past four reporting periods between 2020-2024. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance, with all inspections showing zero affected units and no re-infestations.
