1646 Putnam Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

1646 Putnam Avenue is a 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Efrrain Properties LLC. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues from late 2018 through early 2020, with multiple emergency complaints recorded, particularly affecting the entire building.

While most of these complaints were resolved with reports of restored services, there were a few instances requiring HPD inspections, including a November 2019 electrical outage that reportedly had no violations issued. Since 2020, there have been no additional heat or hot water complaints, and the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status for the past five years, with the only documented infestation occurring in 2018-2019. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent ones in 2024 (passed), 2023 (passed), 2022 (passed), and 2021 (passed).

However, there were two instances of rat activity noted in 2016 and 2020 inspections, with all subsequent inspections showing compliance. The property has demonstrated a generally stable maintenance record in recent years, with no significant building-wide issues reported since the heat and hot water problems were resolved in early 2020. The building's management has also maintained regular bedbug reporting, consistently showing zero infested units from 2019 to present, indicating effective pest management practices.
