477 Rogers Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225
The 2-family house at 477 Rogers Avenue in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, built in 1920 and currently owned by Lex Larose, has experienced persistent issues with heat and hot water during 2020-2021, with ten documented complaints filed through the NYC Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) system. While most of these complaints could not be verified through apartment access, they indicate a troubling pattern of temperature control problems during that period.
The building is currently recorded with multiple open housing maintenance code violations, primarily affecting Unit 2, related to water leaks, plumbing issues, and interior maintenance requirements. Specific issues include leaky faucets, water damage to walls and ceilings, broken plaster surfaces, defective wooden floors, and reports of a rodent infestation, all documented in violation notices from July-August 2020. More recently, in 2023-2024, the building faced administrative issues regarding external low pressure inspection filings, resulting in three violation notices (June 2023, June 2023, and September 2024), though these were eventually dismissed by February 2025.
Two complaints from late 2024 regarding work without proper permits generated inspections, but inspectors were unable to gain access to the property. A rodent inspection conducted in May 2022 resulted in a passing grade, indicating that at least some pest control issues may have been addressed. The building's ongoing maintenance history suggests several persistent issues, particularly affecting Unit 2, though the pattern of heat and hot water problems appears to have stabilized since early 2021.
