452 Rogers Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225

452 Rogers Avenue is a 4-story, 7-unit residential building constructed in 1907, currently owned by Mathieu Pierre. The building has experienced ongoing heat and hot water system issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed between February 2024 and November 2024, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Most recently, in January 2025, complaints were filed regarding flooring and ceiling conditions, though inspections found no violations for the flooring issues, while violations were cited for the ceiling problems.

Apartment 2 has multiple open violations as of November 2024, including issues with hot water temperature, window repairs, door functionality, and a pest infestation of roaches. The building has also been subject to two active Department of Buildings violations from 2023 regarding failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2021 and 2022. Prior to these recent issues, the building had boiler-related complaints in January 2022, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

The property has demonstrated good pest management practices in the past year, with no reported bedbug infestations in the most recent reporting periods of 2024 and 2025. While some complaints have been promptly addressed and closed, the persistence of heating system problems and multiple outstanding violations in Apartment 2 suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's age and classification as a "New Law Tenement" indicate it was constructed before New York City's rent stabilization laws took effect.
