119 Rogers Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

119 Rogers Avenue, a 3-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building in Crown Heights owned by Abraham Karpen, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. The building has documented multiple rodent-related complaints, with the most recent in September 2023 regarding conditions attracting rodents, following a pattern of similar reports since 2021.

In 2022, the property underwent significant challenges with various maintenance issues, including unsanitary conditions (pests, mold), plumbing problems (radiators), and issues with lighting, wall finishes, and garbage storage. While these complaints were addressed and closed, they indicate a history of maintenance concerns. The building's record also shows multiple violations related to filing requirements for external low-pressure inspections, with violations issued from 2018-2024, all of which were subsequently dismissed.

There have been two recent illegal conversion complaints, one active as of December 2024, though the inspector was unable to gain access on the first attempt. On a more positive note, the property has maintained a bedbug-free status over the past three reporting periods (2023-2025), with the last reported infestation in 2021 involving 6 units that were successfully eradicated. The building's history shows a mix of ongoing pest management challenges, compliance issues, and some successful resolution of maintenance problems, with the most recent apartment conditions requiring attention to garbage/recycling storage as per September 2023 complaints.
