1722 Putnam Avenue, Queens, NY 11385
1722 Putnam Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Edward Szkolak, which has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years. The most recent heating failure occurred in January 2023, following similar building-wide problems in November 2022, November 2021, and December 2020, all of which required HPD intervention.
The building has shown consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2020 through 2025, with no documented infestations during these periods. Safety concerns were highlighted in 2018, when violations were issued for apartment 3R related to defective window guards, inoperative smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and self-closing door issues, though most of these violations have been closed. The building underwent several inspections between 2016 and 2024, with the most recent rodent inspection in September 2024 passing successfully, following a rat activity report in 2017.
Additional historical problems include a mold complaint (August 2021), and flooring issues (August 2021), both of which were investigated by HPD but resulted in no violations. While an illegal conversion complaint was made in 2019 regarding a different address (11385) and was investigated in 2020 with no violations found, it's important to note that this concerned a different building. The property appears to have maintained regular compliance with health and safety inspections, though the recurring heating system failures represent a significant ongoing maintenance challenge.
