1820 Putnam Avenue, Queens, NY 11385
The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 1820 Putnam Avenue in Ridgewood, built in 1913, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in January 2024, there was a heat and hot water emergency that required HPD intervention, though conditions were reported as restored shortly thereafter. The building has had recurring problems with pest control, including a July 2022 complaint about roaches in the first-floor entrance area.
Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were documented in mid-2022, including safety issues such as a non-self-closing vestibule door, obstructions to fire escape egress, and maintenance concerns regarding the fire escape's rear yard painting. Notably, there was also a violation related to bedbug reporting requirements in April 2024, though subsequent filings show 0 infested units from 2022 through 2025, including the most recent filing period. The building's safety and maintenance history reveals several areas of concern, including a 2024 violation for failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection report, which remains active as of September 2024.
While the property has generally passed rodent inspections in 2013, 2016, 2017, and 2024, there was one failure recorded in February 2013. The building has shown some improvement in bedbug management, with all recent filings (2021-2025) indicating 0 infested units, though the 2024 filing period was marked by an earlier violation for failure to submit the annual report. The property is currently owned by 1820 Putnam Ave LLC.
