135 Rogers Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The six-unit, three-story tenement at 135 Rogers Avenue in Crown Heights, built in 1931 and currently owned by Nathan Schwarcz, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, between September and December 2023, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though inspections only resulted in one violation being found for carbon monoxide issues.
More recent concerns emerged with a plumbing issue in late December 2023 involving the water supply. The building has faced recurring maintenance challenges since 2022, with multiple complaints about windows, electrical outlets, and plumbing fixtures going uninspected due to access issues, and one documented rat sighting in 2019.
The property is currently under scrutiny for potential illegal modifications, with multiple Department of Buildings complaints between 2022 and 2025 regarding unauthorized conversions and illegal hotel room usage, including a Partial Vacate Order served in June 2025. There are also two active ECB violations from July 2024 related to unauthorized construction work in the cellar and occupancy issues, with associated fines totaling $5,030. While the building has maintained relatively good scores in bedbug reporting, with no infestations reported in the past two years, it has had inconsistent rodent control results, with multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2023 and 2025, though recent inspections in June 2025 passed.
