1851 Putnam Avenue, Queens, NY 11385
1851 Putnam Avenue, a 3-story New Law tenement building in Ridgewood owned by Albert Dweck, has experienced several recurring maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, in 2025, multiple complaints regarding flooring issues and water supply problems were filed in April, though HPD was unable to complete inspections. The building has shown persistent challenges with heating and plumbing systems, evidenced by multiple emergency complaints in 2024 and 2023 concerning heat/hot water issues in the entire building, steam pipes/risers, and flooring concerns.
Notable violations include an active C-class violation as of 2024 for a mouse infestation in Apartment 1L, and a B-class violation from 2023 concerning fire escape door issues in Apartment 3R. The building experienced a pest issue in early 2023, though subsequent inspections showed no violations. The property's maintenance record shows attention to various infrastructure elements, with inspections regularly passing for rodent issues (2024, 2017, 2016), and no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, with the most recent bedbug report (2024) showing zero infested units.
However, there are two active DOB violations from 2023-2024 regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections. Building systems have been maintained through various permits issued in 2019 for electrical and plumbing work, though there have been access issues noted during some inspections, including a boiler complaint in 2024 and an illegal activity complaint in 2019. Recent housing maintenance code violations and multiple 311 complaints indicate ongoing challenges with building systems and infrastructure, though many complaints have been resolved with no violations issued upon inspection.
