444 Rutland Road, Brooklyn, NY 11203

444 Rutland Road is a 2-family house located in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, consisting of 2 stories and built in 1930. The building, currently owned by Mordechai Finck, has experienced significant recurring issues with heating and hot water systems throughout 2024, with multiple emergency complaints filed through January-March 2024 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

While some of these issues were reportedly resolved upon inspection, violations were issued in February 2024, indicating persistent infrastructure problems. The property has also faced plumbing challenges, particularly regarding water supply issues, with violations recorded in January 2024. Looking at historical data, the building has had several concerning safety issues, particularly in December 2019, when multiple complaints regarding blocked egress and illegal conversion were documented, resulting in partial vacate and full stop work orders.

In September 2022, there were complaints about after-hours work and certificate of occupancy issues, though no violations were found upon inspection. The property currently has multiple active violations related to the failure to certify correction of immediately hazardous (Class 1) ECB violations, originally issued in September 2020 and October 2021, which remain unresolved as of the most recent data. While the building's recent heating and water supply issues are the most pressing concern, the outstanding violations from 2020-2021 and previous safety issues suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and compliance.
