1011 Rutland Road, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The three-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 1011 Rutland Road in East Flatbush, owned by Larry Hirscfield, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since 2019, with the most significant concerns centered around heating and hot water systems. The building underwent multiple heating system failures in January 2022, resulting in numerous 311 complaints and violations, particularly affecting apartments 2F and 2R, though heat and hot water issues have been documented repeatedly since 2019, including emergencies in December 2020 and August 2019.

The property has also faced pest control challenges, with documented mouse infestations reported in apartments 2R and 3F in 2022 and 2019 respectively, though these violations were eventually closed. The building's maintenance history indicates ongoing concerns with building systems and safety features, including an open violation from January 2022 regarding inadequate access to the building's heating system in the basement, as well as previously documented issues with carbon monoxide detectors and security features in apartment 3F in August 2019.

While the building has maintained an active record of addressing complaints through the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), there have been instances of multiple complaints being filed for the same conditions, as seen in the January 2022 heat/hot water issues. More positively, the building has had no reported bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods from 2019 to 2024, suggesting effective pest management in this regard.
