AI summary · updated June 2026

388 Rutland Road is a 4-unit, 2-story New Law Tenement building located in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Michael Nedd and constructed in 1931. The property has experienced recurring water-related issues, with multiple emergency water leak complaints documented between 2023 and 2024, including heavy flow problems in late 2023 and early 2024 that resulted in violations. More recent complaints in January 2024 also noted unsanitary conditions including mold, as well as issues with flooring/stairs and roofing. During an April 2024 inspection, several violations were documented and subsequently addressed, including problems with roof leaks affecting the second-story public areas and apartment 2R, defective fire retardant materials in public areas, and issues with self-closing doors in the building.

The building's history also includes a significant heating systems failure in January 2019 that affected the entire building, though heat and hot water were reported to have been restored shortly after tenant notification. Multiple attempts to inspect and address these issues have been recorded, with some inspections being unable to gain access. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2019 to present showing zero infested or re-infested units. While there were two complaints in 2022 regarding work contrary to a stop work order, these were deemed unsubstantiated based on department records. The most recent bedbug reporting period (2024-2025) shows no infestations, continuing the building's consistent record in this area.
