49 Rochester Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233

49 Rochester Avenue is a 4-story, 7-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Moses Retek and constructed in 2018. The building's early history shows several maintenance issues in 2018, including three complaints related to mold (two emergency complaints in October 2019, one of which was uninspectable), one paint/plaster issue in December 2019, and three Department of Buildings complaints in July-August 2018 concerning debris and sustainability enforcement, though all were found either unsubstantiated or with no violations.

A stop work order issued in July 2018 was fully rescinded by August 15, 2018. Notably, all of these earlier complaints and violations were resolved within a reasonable time frame.

Importantly, more recent records indicate a significant improvement in building conditions, with no reported housing maintenance code violations or unsanitary conditions since late 2019. The property has maintained a clean record for pest management, with three consecutive bedbug reports (2023-2024, 2022-2023, and 2021-2022) showing zero infestations, eradications, or re-infestations in any dwelling units. The absence of any new complaints or violations over the past several years suggests that the building has stabilized since its initial occupancy period, and the current conditions are being properly maintained.
