Augrented Insights Report for 1668 Putnam Avenue

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law tenement building at 1668 Putnam Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Eric Setton and constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past year. Between September and December 2023, the building faced multiple housing maintenance code complaints and violations, particularly concerning water leaks, mold, and ceiling damage. The most concerning violations were observed in Apartment 2L during October 2023, involving mold (approximately 6 square feet) in the kitchen, water leaks in both the kitchen and bathroom ceilings, and deficiencies in carbon monoxide detector functionality.

Subsequent months showed a pattern of similar issues, with multiple 311 service requests in late 2023 regarding ceiling problems, window frame issues, and electrical concerns, though most were closed without violations being issued. As of 2024-2025, the building has continued to face challenges with infrastructure maintenance. An April 2024 inspection revealed rat activity, leading to multiple bait applications through 2025.

Notably, there is an open Class C violation from May 2024 concerning a defective bulkhead door to the roof on the 3rd story, which requires attention. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases between 2018 and July 2025. While recent rodent activity has been consistently addressed with bait applications, the persistent pattern of plaster/paint issues, particularly regarding ceilings, and water-related problems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building structure.
