779 Rogers Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

779 Rogers Avenue, a 4-story, 47-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1924, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in 2025, particularly with electrical systems and waste management. Since March 2025, there have been multiple complaints and violations related to power outages, with at least eight documented incidents between March and April 2025, resulting in violations that required correction. Additionally, there have been several reports of unsanitary conditions related to garbage and recycling storage, with the most recent complaints filed in June 2025.

The building has also faced challenges with building maintenance, including safety violations for obstructed egress paths, which have been a persistent issue since 2020-2021, with multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations issued for blocked exit passageways and emergency routes, some of which remain active. The property underwent significant inspection activity in 2024, revealing various structural and safety issues that required attention. These included problems with window glass, handrails, floor tiles, and storage encumbrances in common areas, all of which received violation notices.

The building's rodent control measures have been active, with multiple baiting operations conducted throughout 2024 and 2025, suggesting ongoing pest management efforts. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status in recent reports from 2022-2024, the frequency of electrical and waste management issues raises concerns about overall building maintenance. The most recent inspector's findings from March 2025 noted rat activity, indicating continued challenges with pest control, though this was not cited as a violation.
