277 Rutledge Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The three-story brick tenement at 277 Rutledge Street in Williamsburg, built in 1905, has had consistent record-keeping regarding bedbug management over the past several years. The property, owned by Rutledge Residence LLC, has filed bedbug reports annually from 2022 through 2024, with the most recent report indicating no infested dwelling units, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units.

These regular filings demonstrate compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements, although there were four consecutive violations between 2021 and 2024 related to the annual bedbug reporting requirement, all of which were subsequently closed. The building has faced some other notable issues, including an open violation from 2019 regarding an obstruction of egress from fire escapes due to a shed erected below the second-story balcony at the rear of the building.

This violation, classified as a Class B, indicates a potentially serious safety concern regarding emergency egress. Additionally, there was a complaint filed in December 2023 regarding unlicensed/illegal activity, though this was closed on the second final attempt for inspection due to the inspector being unable to gain access. While the bedbug reporting has shown consistent zero infestations over the past three reporting periods, the remaining open egress violation and the inspection access issue in late 2023 are notable points of concern in the building's recent history.
