682 Rogers Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The 6-unit, three-story New Law Tenement building at 682 Rogers Avenue in Flatbush has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water throughout 2025, with multiple complaints filed between February and March 2025, some of which resulted in HPD violations. The building has also faced rodent issues, with multiple reports and inspections conducted between February and July 2025, showing ongoing rat activity despite the application of bait.

The most affected unit appears to be Apartment 3B, which has multiple open and closed violations from late 2024 related to water leaks, mold conditions, and heating problems. These violations, issued between October and December 2024, indicate issues with the roof causing leaks in the kitchen, visible mold in both the kitchen and bathroom, and problems with heating systems. The building's maintenance history also shows various non-emergency issues reported in March 2025, including problems with paint/plaster surfaces, electrical outlets, and flooring. While there was a building-wide inspection for rat activity in 2023 that passed, more recent inspections have shown persistent rodent activity.

On the positive side, the building has had consistent bedbug reporting history from 2021 to 2024 showing zero infested units during all reporting periods. The property's maintenance and compliance history suggests ongoing challenges with building systems, particularly in Unit 3B, though improvements in some areas have been noted, such as the resolution of certain heat and hot water complaints as confirmed by building occupants during inspections. The building's age (built in 1931) and classification as a New Law Tenement may contribute to the persistent maintenance issues observed in recent years. The property is currently owned by 682 Rogers LLC, and while many recent complaints have been addressed and closed, several violations remain as of the most recent inspection dates in 2023 and 2024.
