48 Rochester Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233

48 Rochester Avenue, a two-family house located in Bedford-Stuyvesant and owned by Daniel Janoff, has experienced several significant building events in recent years, particularly in the latter half of 2023. The property was constructed in 1901 and consists of two stories.

Between August and November 2023, multiple serious issues were documented, including concerns about egress (with a request for corrective action issued), adjacent building protection, debris concerns, and structural compliance problems that temporarily warranted a vacate order. These structural issues included damage to both the rear wall and party wall between 48 and 50 Rochester Avenue, though the vacate order was ultimately rescinded on November 21, 2023. During this period, there were also inspection and compliance tracking activities, with one construction-related complaint resulting in no violations being found at the time of inspection.

Despite these significant events in 2023, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections from 2012 through 2025, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 showing no issues. The property has also experienced some construction-related measures, including a shoring violation issued in August 2023 regarding protection of the party wall during demolition work at the adjacent property (50 Rochester Avenue), though this was later dismissed in December 2023. While the building underwent several inspections and remedial actions in 2023, most violations were eventually dismissed or resolved, indicating that the building has returned to compliance with New York City Department of Buildings regulations.
