649 Rogers Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The three-story, two-unit building at 649 Rogers Avenue in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Mohamed Hussain and constructed in 1910, has experienced several ongoing maintenance issues over the past few years, with particular attention required to address safety and compliance matters. Most notably, there is an active Department of Health complaint from March 2023 regarding construction lead dust entering an apartment, which remains unresolved as of the latest data.

The building has been subject to recurring violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open Class A violations recorded in March 2023, April 2024, and annually since 2021, indicating non-compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements to file annual bedbug reports. The property has a history of safety-related violations requiring attention to building egress and fire safety systems.

In 2019, there were multiple violations concerning the cellar entry from the public hall, including the need for self-closing doors and a fire-rated door installation (with one of these being ultimately resolved or "closed"). Additional concerns include an open violation from 2018 requiring painting of rust on the west fire escape, and previous issues with clutter in public areas that have been flagged but either resolved or remained open. While the building passed an initial rodent inspection in 2010, the record of violations and service requests suggests a pattern of maintenance and compliance challenges that potential tenants should consider.
