158 Rogers Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
The 4-unit, 4-story residential building at 158 Rogers Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Jay Gruen and constructed in 1931, has experienced several notable incidents and recurring issues over the past decade. Most recently, in December 2024 and previously in December 2018, there were emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water failures, though in both instances service was reportedly restored before inspections were completed.
The building has also faced challenges with rodent activity, with a rat sighting reported in October 2023, though previous inspections from 2023-2024 generally passed, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 showing rat activity. The property has a significant history of door-related violations, particularly concerning self-closing doors, with multiple violations documented between 2009-2012, all of which were ultimately resolved by September 2022. These violations primarily affected Apartment 1A and involved doors at various entrances including locations from the south, west, and east.
The building has maintained a consistent record of filing bedbug reports between 2019-2025, with all reports showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The most recent bedbug filings from 2025-2024 period confirmed no infestation incidents. While the building passed its 2022 Housing Maintenance Code inspection, it received a notable violation for failing to file its annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been addressed in subsequent filings.
