560 Rogers Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The three-story, two-family house at 560 Rogers Avenue in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Matt Bader, has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues since 2023. Most notably, there are multiple documented instances of heat and hot water problems, with emergency complaints in 2024 and early 2025. The building has also faced significant mold-related issues, with violations issued in March 2024 affecting multiple areas, particularly in Apartment 1.

Structural and maintenance concerns included a slow water leak and various paint/plaster issues throughout 2024, though many of these earlier complaints were eventually closed without violations. The building is currently facing serious compliance issues, with active Environmental Control Board violations as of 2024 regarding unauthorized cellar-level occupancy and an illegal duplex configuration, with penalties totaling $2,530. These violations relate to improper use of the cellar level, which is designated as accessory space not for living according to DOB records.

The property has maintained a good record regarding pest control, with no documented bedbug or rodent infestations since 2018, though the building did experience rodent and cockroach issues in 2014. Other historical maintenance concerns included broken locks, loose hand railings, and various plumbing and cabinetry issues in Apartment 3, though these have been addressed through past violations. The building's most recent inspection history shows a pattern of unresolved or recurring issues, particularly regarding heat and water supply, while structural and safety concerns appear to have been largely addressed through regular maintenance and repair work. The property's active violations regarding occupancy and illegal modifications represent the most significant current compliance issues.
