619 Rugby Road is a 4-story, 32-unit residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Marc Barron and classified as a New Law Tenement. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues over the past two years, with particular attention needed on water-related problems. As of March 2025, there is an open complaint regarding heat/hot water issues in an apartment, while multiple water leak incidents have been reported, including heavy flow and slow leaks.

The property has also faced challenges with building infrastructure, including ceiling and wall maintenance, plumbing issues, and safety concerns such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors requiring attention. The building's most significant maintenance problems have been concentrated in apartment 1D, which has generated multiple housing code violations between 2023 and 2025, including water leak problems, the presence of roaches, lead paint concerns, and various plaster and paint surface issues. While recent inspections have shown active pest management efforts, as evidenced by rodent bait applications throughout 2024 and early 2025, there remains a history of rodent activity reported during inspections in 2023 and 2024.

Notably, the building has maintained a clean record with no reported bedbug infestations in the most recent five reporting periods (2020-2025), which is a positive indicator of overall pest management compared to past years. The building's recent history shows a pattern of water-related issues and maintenance challenges, with housing violations indicating ongoing infrastructure problems that require attention. The property has experienced recurring issues with water leaks and water flow problems, despite some complaints being resolved through HPD inspections. While most recent complaints have been closed without violations, the frequency and nature of maintenance issues suggest that water-related problems have been particularly persistent.
