48 Rogers Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

48 Rogers Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, and was constructed in 1910. The building has had persistent issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations recorded annually from 2021 through 2024 under the Housing Maintenance Code, all relating to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports.

More concerning are the building's history of fire-related incidents from 2018, when multiple violations were recorded including fire damage to the entire Apartment 3 on the second story, as well as soot accumulation and defective fire-retardant materials in public areas. The building underwent significant construction activity in 2019, resulting in several violations including work without a permit and work not conforming to approved construction documents, though these were subsequently resolved. Recent maintenance history shows mixed results in pest control, with rodent inspections in 2025, 2024, and 2023 showing passed results, though there were instances of rat activity noted in late 2023.

The building received multiple work permits in 2019 and most recently in 2024, indicating ongoing maintenance and improvements. Two Stop Work Orders were issued in 2019 and 2020, though both were fully rescinded, and there were associated penalties for violations during this period, including a $5,000 penalty related to COVID-19 Executive Order compliance. The most recent permits issued in 2024 (for electrical and plumbing work) suggest active management of the building's maintenance needs, though the persistent nature of bedbug reporting violations remains notable.
