615 Rogers Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The 6-unit, 3-story residential building at 615 Rogers Avenue in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Lois Small, has a documented history of maintenance and regulatory compliance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of violations related to bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations recorded annually from 2021 through 2024 indicating failure to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code.

The building has also experienced significant hardware and safety concerns, including an active Environmental Control Board violation from March 2021 regarding hot water temperature issues at the boiler and oil tanks, with a penalty of $3,125 imposed, and a current Department of Buildings violation from April 2023 for failure to file the 2022 External Low Pressure Inspection. Historically, the building has faced various operational challenges, including a defective boiler complaint in March 2021 (resulting in an Oath Violation), and two complaints in August 2019 regarding illegal hotel rooms and exposed electrical wiring, though no violations were warranted upon inspection.

While a bedbug infestation was reported in the 2017-2018 filing period, the records showed zero affected units and successful eradication efforts. The last documented rodent inspection in September 2016 resulted in a passing score. The building's persistent regulatory compliance issues, particularly regarding bedbug reporting and hot water system maintenance, suggest ongoing challenges with property management and maintenance compliance, though some historical violations have been addressed or resolved.
