Augrented Insights Report for 1868 Putnam Avenue

1868 Putnam Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building in Ridgewood, built in 1911 and currently owned by Alexander Horn. The building has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years, with numerous complaints and violations related to water and air quality problems.

Most notably, between 2025 and early 2023, there have been multiple reports of sewage odors, mold, water leaks, and problems with flooring and plumbing systems, including radiator issues. The property has also faced rodent control challenges, with several inspections showing rat activity between 2025 and 2024, though recent inspections in April 2025 passed. The building's history shows recurring issues with basic services and maintenance compliance, including two heat/hot water complaints in late 2024, multiple emergency plumbing issues, and several instances of unsanitary conditions.

An inspection in October 2024 resulted in violations regarding inadequate lighting at entrances, encumbrances in public areas, and various maintenance concerns. The property underwent construction work in 2020-2021 that generated multiple Department of Buildings violations, including improper construction procedures and unsafe electrical conditions, though these were subsequently resolved. Despite these challenges, the building's most recent bedbug reports (2022-2024) show no infestations, and the most recent rodent inspections in 2025 have shown some improvement in conditions, with the last inspection passing.
