1930 Putnam Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

1930 Putnam Avenue is a two-story, 4-unit tenement building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Jose Pazmino, located in Ridgewood. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with complaints reported in both October and December of 2018, both representing emergencies affecting the entire building. More recent concerns include a mold issue reported in November 2021, classified as unsanitary conditions, which was inspected but resulted in no violations being issued.

The building has been under consistent scrutiny since 2021, with multiple open violations related to administrative and safety requirements. These include the need to file annual bedbug reports (2021-2024), proper maintenance of various safety notices regarding carbon monoxide detectors, gas leak procedures, and building registration information. The property was cited for various administrative violations in August 2021, including the need to post specific safety notices in English and Spanish, maintain proper building registration displays, and properly document inspection visits near mailboxes.

One significant violation resulted in a C-class designation regarding entrance door self-closing mechanisms, though this issue appears resolved. While there were some rodent activity indications in 2015, subsequent inspections in 2016 and 2017 passed without issues. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of heating system-related problems and administrative oversights, though many of the more recent complaints have been addressed or resulted in no violations being found upon inspection.
