About the building
770 Putnam Avenue is a three-home condominium made from an 1899 townhouse. The residential conversion included both vertical and horizontal enlargement. Oscar Fuertes was the architect on the DOB alteration, permitted in January 2016 and signed off in March 2017 for three dwellings across four stories. The building occupies a midblock lot in eastern Bedford-Stuyvesant.
The residence types include a garden duplex with lower-level recreation space and upper accommodation with a balcony and access to a roof deck. Split-system air conditioning serves the renovated interiors. Confirm the allocation of garden and roof-deck use with the managing agent.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-01651-7501; each condominium apartment is its own tax lot).

What to know if you’re buying
A three-residence association has only three households among which to allocate building repairs and operating decisions. The roof deck makes the division between private deck maintenance and common roof work particularly consequential here. A lender must also accept a condominium project this small; individual mortgage eligibility alone does not settle that question.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
