1866 Putnam Avenue, Queens, NY 11385
1866 Putnam Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Ridgewood, built in 1911 and currently owned by Joseph Birnbach. The building has experienced recurring pest issues in recent years, with particularly significant problems in 2023 marked by multiple emergency complaints about pests, specifically bedbugs and general unsanitary conditions.
In August 2023, violations were issued related to an infestation in apartment 3R, and as of April 2024, there remained an open violation regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, which is a recurring compliance issue evidenced by similar violations in 2021 and 2022. The building's recent history shows problematic maintenance patterns, with the most alarming being documented rodent activity in late 2024, marking the first such violations in seven years, as previous rodent inspections in 2016 and 2017 showed no issues.
The property has a documented history of bedbug-related violations dating back to at least 2021, with three consecutive years (2021-2023) showing similar compliance issues regarding the required bedbug reporting, though the April 2023 report indicated no infested or re-infested units during the 2021-2022 reporting period. The building's most recent service requests through NYC's 311 system for unsanitary conditions were initiated in late July and early August 2023, though these were closed by August 20, 2023.
