157 Rogers Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

157 Rogers Avenue is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, and owned by Maaas Enterprises LP. Built in 1920, the property has experienced several notable issues in recent years, particularly concerning construction compliance and pest management.

Between 2021 and 2025, the building was subject to multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) investigations, with several concerning events occurring in early 2025, including illegal after-hours work, construction safety compliance actions, and issues related to unauthorized construction contrary to approved plans. Notably, there is an active ECB violation (as of 2024) related to failure to comply with a commissioner's order from 2021, with penalties totaling $12,250 still associated with the property, though the balance due is $6,250 according to the most recent data.

The building has experienced recurring rodent-related issues, with complaints filed in 2021 and most recently in 2024, though recent inspections in 2024 have shown compliance with health department standards. During 2021, multiple violations were recorded regarding unauthorized construction work, including changes to the garage structure and unauthorized plumbing installations, leading to several ECB violations with associated penalties. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a record of no bedbug infestations according to the required reporting for 2020-2021, and has consistently passed rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024, suggesting recent improvements in pest management and building maintenance.
