1863 Putnam Avenue, Queens, NY 11385
The 6-unit residential building at 1863 Putnam Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Joel Zinger, is a 3-story New Law tenement constructed in 1911. The property has experienced persistent rodent issues throughout 2024, with multiple inspections revealing rat activity between January and November of that year, though it passed inspections in August 2024, as well as in 2016 and 2017.
A recent rat sighting complaint filed in April 2024 resulted in Health Department violations that required follow-up inspections. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past six reporting periods from 2019 to 2024, with zero infested units reported in the most recent filings, there was a notable Housing Maintenance Code violation in March 2023 regarding the late filing of the annual bedbug report.
Additionally, a complaint about illegal hotel rooms in the building was filed in August 2018, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their final attempt to investigate. The building's ongoing rodent issues appear to be the most significant concern, given their frequency and recent nature, though efforts to address these problems are evidenced by multiple compliance inspections throughout 2024.
