Augrented Insights Report for 1605 Putnam Avenue

The 5-story New Law Tenement building at 1605 Putnam Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Scott Silverman, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water availability throughout the building, with multiple complaints logged between July 2024 and January 2025, though these were generally resolved upon inspection. The building is currently facing open complaints as of June 2025 regarding wall conditions and gas range appliance issues.

There were also several safety concerns in late 2024 related to fire escape access, including defective drop ladders and obstructed egress due to flower pots, though these violations were subsequently certified as corrected. The property has an ongoing rodent management record, with multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2022 and 2025, though bait was applied during various inspections. The building has demonstrated consistent diligence in addressing bedbug issues, with no reported infestations in the last five reporting periods between 2019 and 2024.

Of particular note, two apartments (1C and 2K) experienced fire damage in July 2024, leading to multiple violations that were later closed. Other maintenance issues have included electrical problems, particularly regarding gas supply to ranges in apartments 1C and 2K, and various plumbing and maintenance matters that have typically been addressed within required timeframes. The building's history includes some instances of inspectors being unable to gain access during inspections in 2019 and 2024 for unrelated complaints.
