1625 Putnam Avenue, Queens, NY 11385
1625 Putnam Avenue is a 5-story, 48-unit residential building constructed in 1927 under the New Law Tenement classification and currently owned by Tom Rosenberg. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent years, with multiple emergency service requests indicating ongoing problems with water leaks, electrical wiring, and unsanitary conditions including mold.
Between late 2024 and 2025, there were nine separate water-related complaints, including heavy flow and damp spots, three of which were classified as emergencies. The building has also shown issues with building infrastructure, as evidenced by three "urgent" violations issued in late 2024 regarding water leaks, ceiling and wall damage, and mold problems. A significant event occurred in 2022 when the building sustained damage from a fire, affecting the basement storage room and multiple apartments.
There have been multiple rodent inspections conducted from 2023-2024, with consistent reports of rat activity, particularly noted in December 2024 and September 2024. Recent Department of Buildings records from 2024 show concerns about scaffolding work and building safety, with a partial stop work order issued regarding unauthorized work and an active violation related to notification requirements for facade repairs. While the building appears to have maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infestation cases in the past four reporting periods, the persistent maintenance issues, particularly regarding water damage and mold, represent ongoing challenges for residents.
