244 Rogers Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225

244 Rogers Avenue is a 4-story, 47-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1923 and currently owned by Robin Gallant. The building has experienced recurrent heat and hot water system issues throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between January and April 2025, including two open complaints as recent as April 2025. These heating system problems are the most significant ongoing issue affecting resident comfort.

The building has also undergone several inspections and received various violations in late 2024, notably including pest control problems in apartment B15, where multiple violations for rodent and cockroach infestations were documented, along with issues like mold and window damage. The property has a concerning history of structural and safety-related complaints, including three building shaking/vibration reports between 2018-2023, and multiple complaints regarding egress issues and retaining wall concerns in 2018. There were also multiple violations regarding exit passageways and unsafe conditions in 2018, though many of these appear to have been resolved.

Recent Department of Buildings inspections in 2024 indicated regular rodent activity, with multiple inspections showing rat presence despite baiting efforts. The building has maintained an active record of 311 complaints specific to the heating system, with most being closed after HPD investigations confirmed restoration of services, though some complaints remain open pending further verification. The property has documented bedbug presence in past years, though the most recent reports show no current infestations.
