Augrented Insights Report for 1654 Putnam Avenue

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 1654 Putnam Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Alex Ludlum and built in 1931, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly concerning its heating and hot water systems. Between September 2024 and December 2024 alone, there were five emergency complaints related to heat and hot water problems in both apartments and the entire building, with violations issued for inadequate heat supply and excessively hot water temperatures (over 130 degrees).

The building has also faced multiple plumbing challenges, with two water supply-related complaints in September 2024, following earlier issues with water leaks in 2021 and 2022. The property has a documented history of pest control challenges, with a bedbug infestation reported in late 2024 affecting 8 units, though all were reportedly eradicated. Previous inspections had shown periods of rat activity, particularly noticeable in 2022 and 2024, though a compliance inspection in October 2024 passed.

While there have been various other maintenance violations noted, including issues with building access, hot water supply, and hallway conditions, the property has completed necessary repairs and achieved compliance in most cases. The building's permit history shows multiple "AL" permits issued in 2019, suggesting some improvement work was undertaken during that period. Two active Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections from 2021 and 2024 indicate ongoing regulatory oversight, with one showing no enforcement action required.
