As those in the area have probably noticed, the abandoned lot at 38 Putnam Avenue in Clinton Hill has been getting cleaned up lately. Long a dumping ground and sometimes campground, the 52-foot-wide property's changing looks are the result of a City order to the neglectful owner, according to a friendly resident of the building next door. (This explanation makes since given the lack of any DOB filings on record.) It's too bad people don't have enough respect for their communities to keep their properties presentable without legal threats. Then again, it doesn't look like the owner lives nearby—at least judging by addresses on the slew of insider deed transfers in recent years. GMAP P*Shark
