421 Rogers Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225
The 12-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 421 Rogers Avenue in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Jack Zimmer and constructed in 1907, has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with heating and water systems. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints in both 2024 and 2025, with violations issued in March 2024 for excessive hot water temperatures above 130 degrees in Apartment 3A.
Recent inspections in June 2025 also revealed plumbing and water supply issues that HPD inspectors could not access to fully investigate. The building has a history of accessibility challenges for inspections, as evidenced by multiple instances in 2024-2025 where inspectors were unable to gain access to affected apartments during heat and hot water complaints investigations. The property has undergone various repairs and maintenance work, with several violations corrected between March and May 2024, including electrical wiring issues with exposed wires in the first-story public hall and multiple safety equipment violations in Apartment 3A, such as defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and door issues.
Historical data shows some concerns from 2018 regarding electrical wiring, though no violations were confirmed at those times. The building's environmental health records are relatively positive, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2019-2024), and rodent inspections conducted in 2012, 2013, and 2022 all resulted in passing grades. Compliance with safety regulations appears to have improved, given that most recent violations from 2024 were certified as corrected by May 2024, though ongoing concerns about water supply and heat systems persist as indicated by recent complaints.
