26 Rutledge Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 26 Rutledge Street in Williamsburg, owned by Simon Neustein, has experienced several notable events over the past decade, with particular attention to pest-related issues.

Most recently, in January 2025, there was a food poisoning complaint that was investigated and deemed isolated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, with confirmation that regular sanitary inspections would continue. The building has a consistent history of Administrative Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, with four separate violations recorded over this period for failing to file the mandatory annual bedbug report as required by HPD rules, though all these violations were ultimately closed.

Additionally, an unusual rodent inspection from October 2011 recorded a failure for "Other Reasons," which suggests there may have been underlying pest management challenges, though no subsequent rodent-related inspections are on record. The building's overall age of 105 years places it in the category of older residences, and while the more recent years show proactive handling of violations through resolution, the pattern of bedbug report non-compliance raises questions about the building's pest management practices during this period.
