886 Rutland Road, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The 5-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement at 886 Rutland Road in East Flatbush, owned by Abdul Muritala and built in 1930, has experienced several maintenance challenges over recent years. Most notably, in 2023, there was a complaint about unsanitary conditions related to pests, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

The building has documented violations requiring attention to safety protocols, including missing notices for carbon monoxide detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and information about the building's heating system. Emergency issues were recorded in late 2022 concerning unsafe flooring conditions and mold, with violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) - although full details are not disclosed in the records.

The building's maintenance history shows recurring infrastructure challenges, particularly between 2018 and 2021, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water issues, electrical problems, and plumbing concerns including toilet issues that were classified as emergencies. An investigation in March 2023 revealed several regulatory compliance matters, including the need for proper signage regarding housing information, smoke detector requirements, and the building's registration number - most of these violations have since been closed, though one related to the housing information guide remains open. On a positive note, the building has maintained an active rodent control program, passing inspections in 2016 and 2022, and has reported no bedbug infestations in recent years, with the most recent reports (2023-2024) showing zero affected units and successful eradication efforts when applicable.
