416 Rogers Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The three-story, two-family house located at 416 Rogers Avenue in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Elliot Frankel, has a concerning history of maintenance issues, particularly related to essential services. Between late 2018 and early 2019, the building experienced multiple heating and hot water outages, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with several complaints filed and emergency response attempts by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The building also encountered electrical problems during this period, with multiple reports of inadequate lighting leading to issued violations.

Notable violations from 2018 included inadequate heat and hot water supply, electrical service issues, and safety concerns regarding a carbon monoxide detector in one unit (3RDFL). More recently, in 2019, there were violations for failing to file the annual boiler inspection report, which remains active as of 2025. The building's maintenance history shows some persistent structural and safety concerns, including a July 2018 violation regarding defective wood flooring in the second-story public hall, and issues with air conditioner brackets on the front of the building.

While the property has maintained a clean bedbug record for the past three years (2022-2024) with no reported infestations, the building has seen earlier rodent inspection failures in 2010, though it passed a rodent inspection in 2012. The most recent complaints were filed in 2021 regarding a Certificate of Occupancy issue, though inspectors were unable to gain access, and a debris-related complaint in 2019 found no violations at the time of inspection. The building was constructed in 1908 and has experienced recurring maintenance issues particularly between 2018-2019, though the frequency of complaints appears to have decreased in recent years, with no major service disruptions reported since 2019.
