1819 Putnam Avenue, Queens, NY 11385
The 6-unit, 3-story tenement at 1819 Putnam Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Sam Gluck and constructed in 1913, has experienced numerous maintenance and violation issues in 2024-2025 that significantly impact resident comfort and safety. The building has an active rodent infestation problem, with inspections in 2024 and 2025 confirming rat activity, despite multiple baiting attempts throughout 2024.
There are several concerning open violations from an October 2024 inspection related to Apartment 3L, including water leak issues at window frames, broken window glass in the kitchen, and the need for window guard installation. Additional open violations involve the need to repair the building entrance door at the public hall and address garbage-related issues throughout the property. Recent complaints and violations indicate persistent maintenance challenges, including multiple door-related issues requiring HPD intervention in 2025, mold problems, and violations related to garbage/recycling storage.
A significant Environmental Control Board violation from October 2023 remains active, citing obstruction of fire escape landings and pathways with combustible materials. The building's owner has failed to maintain required external low-pressure inspection filings for multiple years between 2018-2023, which represents an important regulatory compliance concern. While there have been no reports of bedbug infestations in recent years, the ongoing rodent issues and various building code violations present continuing challenges for residents.
