160 Rutledge Street, Brooklyn

Unfiled administrative paperwork meets a single December heat and gas complaint cluster.

This 6-unit Williamsburgh walk-up has been under the same family ownership for decades, but the paper file shows a clear administrative gap. While there are zero Class C hazardous violations open, the owner keeps falling behind on basic annual filings. Three things to know:

Every open violation comes down to skipped routine filings. All 8 open housing violations on the building are administrative. Four are Class A violations for failing to submit annual bedbug reports (filed each spring from 2023 through 2026), and four are Class I citations for failing to maintain a valid annual property registration statement.

A four-call cluster landed on a single day in December 2025. On December 21, 2025, tenants logged calls spanning heat, hot water, cooking gas, and an electric/gas range. All four entries were resolved and closed that same day, and no further system complaints have been logged since.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 📦 39 missed garbage collection complaints within three blocks last year, mostly bulky trash and uncollected refuse
• 🚗 54 illegal parking calls within three blocks, primarily posted sign violations and double-parking blocking traffic
• 🕳️ 63 street condition calls within three blocks over the last 12 months, driven by road cave-ins and potholes
