980 Rutland Road, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The three-story, two-unit building at 980 Rutland Road in East Flatbush, owned by Jonathan Tsur, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues since 2018. Most recently, in April 2024, an open Class C violation was issued for an illegal double cylinder key-operated lock at the front door of unit 3, while both 2023 and 2024 inspections documented missing bedbug annual reports.

The property has also faced ongoing pest control challenges, with an open Class C violation from 2022 indicating a roach infestation in apartment 2R. Previous violations from 2022 included multiple issues in apartment 2R related to peeling paint and defective plaster surfaces in the bathroom and other rooms, as well as some bathroom maintenance concerns that have since been resolved.

The building underwent some renovation work in 2018 that triggered multiple safety concerns, including three related violations for missing guardrails at stairways between floors, though these were ultimately resolved without penalties. There were also three food-related complaints between 2021-2022, all involving food poisoning incidents, which were referred to the New York State Agriculture and Markets. While the building's current bedbug reporting indicates no active infestations or eradication efforts needed between 2022-2023, the property has had a history of maintenance issues requiring attention to basic safety and habitability standards.
