1709 Putnam Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The 8-unit New Law Tenement at 1709 Putnam Avenue in Ridgewood, built in 1930 and currently owned by Antonio Varvaro, has exhibited consistent attention to compliance with housing maintenance codes over the past decade. The building has undergone regular bedbug reporting and inspection requirements from 2021 to 2024, with the most recent report from July 2024 showing no infested units during the 2022-2023 reporting period, following a previous instance in 2022 where one unit was reported and subsequently eradicated.

Prior to that, from 2019-2020 through 2021-2022, the building maintained a clean record with no infestations reported in multiple consecutive filings. The property has maintained good rodent control measures, with all recent inspections passing, including a September 2024 initial inspection. The only recorded compliance issue regarding rodent control occurred in March 2014, but was addressed and passed in subsequent inspections.

The building has shown a pattern of timely responding to inspections and addressing any identified issues, particularly in relation to the mandatory bedbug reporting requirements. While the property has experienced periodic violations related to bedbug reporting (2021-2024), these appear to be administrative in nature rather than indicative of persistent pest issues, as evidenced by the subsequent successful compliance and eradication measures taken by management. The building's overall inspection history suggests regular maintenance and monitoring, with no major safety concerns or pattern of recurring violations impacting resident safety or comfort.
