630 Rugby Road, Brooklyn, NY 11230

630 Rugby Road is a 4-story, 38-unit New Law Tenement building located in Flatbush, built in 1931 and currently owned by Leo Joseph. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with multiple complaints filed between 2022 and 2024, affecting either the entire building or individual apartments. Most recently, in December 2024, there were complaints of chemical vapors and gases/odors, with a notice sent to management for correction.

The building has also faced sanitary challenges, particularly in apartment A7, where multiple violations were documented in 2022-2023 for pest infestations including mice and roaches, along with plumbing issues requiring attention to sink waste line obstructions. Despite these issues, the property has maintained a consistent record of addressing violations, with recent bedbug reports (2023-2024) showing no infested units. The building's compliance history shows attention to safety features, with violations noted in 2022 for defective self-closing doors at the entrance and roof access, though these were subsequently addressed.

Permit records from 2018-2024 indicate ongoing maintenance and improvement work, including recent permits issued in 2023 and 2024. Two complaints from 2019 regarding illegal hotel rooms were closed due to insufficient information. The property has maintained regular filing of bedbug reports since 2019, with most recent filings showing no current infestations, and underwent a rodent inspection in 2020 that noted rat activity. The building's response to heat and water issues has generally resulted in temporary resolutions, with HPD inspections often confirming restoration of services, though access issues have occasionally hindered inspections.
