1021 Rutland Road, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-family house at 1021 Rutland Road in East Flatbush, owned by Seong Kang, has been facing multiple maintenance challenges since at least 2023. The 2-story, 1-unit building, constructed in 1931, is currently experiencing several active violations related to external low-pressure inspection failures, with missed filings documented from 2018 through 2023, representing a pattern of non-compliance with safety regulations.

In early 2024, the building underwent a cluster of emergency maintenance issues, including problems with heat/hot water, electrical lighting, plumbing at sinks, as well as sanitation concerns involving mold and pests. While the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspected these 2024 complaints, no violations were issued. A prior set of complaints from January 2023 also highlights building issues, including pest problems, electrical lighting failures, and a slow water leak, though only some received violation citations during the inspection process.

The building's maintenance history shows persistent infrastructure and comfort issues, with particular concern around heat/hot water systems and electrical systems, as evidenced by multiple complaints about these systems in both 2023 and 2024. The property has consistently required intervention from city agencies, though not all complaints have resulted in formal violations. The active violations related to external low-pressure inspections suggest a continuing pattern of oversight regarding safety requirements, and while recent complaints have been addressed without violations, the frequency and variety of maintenance issues indicate ongoing challenges in building upkeep and systems performance.
