193 Rutledge Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

193 Rutledge Street in Williamsburg, owned by Yidel Furth, is a three-unit, three-story building constructed in 1899 that has undergone prior conversion to a Class A residential property. The most pressing recent issue involves a heat and hot water emergency reported in January 2025, for which HPD was unable to access the building for inspection.

The building has a history of bedbug reporting requirements, with violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though the most recent bedbug report for the period of November 2022 to October 2023 indicates no infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. Prior maintenance issues include non-emergency violations for paint and plaster problems in November 2018 affecting walls and window frames. A gas utility referral investigation in October 2024 also saw inspectors unable to gain access for inspection, marking the third instance of access issues for building inspections in recent years.

The building's recent history shows recurring access issues for inspections and complaints, particularly concerning heat/hot water systems and gas utilities. While the building has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in 2024, the pattern of heating system complaints and inspection access challenges suggests ongoing maintenance and inspection cooperation issues. The property has maintained Class A status with the Department of Buildings, though there have been multiple violations requiring correction through proper reporting and documentation processes.
