189 Rogers Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216

189 Rogers Avenue is a three-unit, three-story residential building located in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Guy Hochman. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years, most notably documented by Housing Maintenance Code violations. As of 2024, there are open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though previous years (2021-2022) had this violation marked as closed.

In 2018, there were complaints about heat and hot water issues and an appliance problem, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions. That year also saw multiple safety-related violations, including requirements to post gas leak procedures, smoke detector requirements, building registration number, housing information guide availability, and carbon monoxide detector requirements in the public areas. An illegal conversion complaint was filed in 2020, but the inspector was unable to gain access during the final attempt.

The building has maintained an active bedbug monitoring and reporting system, with filings for 2021-2022 showing no infested units. Recent pest control measures appear to be effective, as indicated by three consecutive "Passed" results on rodent inspections conducted between 2023 and 2025. While the property has faced various compliance challenges, it has shown progress in addressing multiple maintenance issues over time, particularly in the realm of pest control and building safety. The most recent inspection data available up to 2025 suggests improved conditions, though the open violation regarding bedbug reporting from 2023-2024 remains on record.
