159 Rogers Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The 6-unit, 3-story building at 159 Rogers Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Olufemi Falade, has experienced numerous maintenance challenges since its construction in 1931. Most recently, the building has been cited for multiple violations regarding failure to file required external low-pressure inspections for 2018-2024, with these violations currently active as of 2024.
The property has also faced ongoing rodent control issues, with the most recent inspection in May 2024 showing a passing result, though there were several instances of rat activity and bait application between 2021 and 2023. Significant interior maintenance concerns have been documented, particularly in 2021, when there were multiple complaints about stairs, heat/hot water issues, and unsanitary conditions, though many of these complaints were closed due to inability to gain access for inspection.
The building has open violations from 2021 pertaining to apartment 3, including issues with bathroom plaster, ceiling, door self-closing mechanisms, roof leaks, and carbon monoxide detector problems. External structural issues have been noted, particularly in 2019, with violations regarding facade cracks and concrete deterioration, though these were seemingly resolved through Oath Violations. The building's systems have also experienced various problems, including power outages (2019), heat and hot water challenges (multiple instances from 2020-2021), and plumbing complaints (2023), with several inspections showing inability to gain access for verification.
