896 Rogers Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The three-story, two-family house at 896 Rogers Avenue in Flatbush, owned by Abraham Avikasis, has a significant history of maintenance violations, with the most substantial cluster occurring in March 2018. During this inspection, the building was cited for multiple issues including water leaks in the third-story public hall (B-class violation), fire safety concerns with defective fire-rated plaster in the same area (B-class violation), and an administrative requirement to repaint with light-colored paint in the third-story public hall (A-class violation).

The third-floor apartment (Apartment 3) also received several citations, including two violations regarding the use of interior rooms that failed to meet ventilation requirements (A-class violations), safety concerns about missing carbon monoxide detectors (B-class violation), and issues with window hardware in the kitchen (B-class violation). All these violations were subsequently closed, with certification dates ranging from April 14-18, 2018.

More recent records indicate a positive trend in building maintenance, with no documented bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods from 2019 through 2024, and a successful rodent inspection pass in September 2011. The property has maintained a clean record regarding both bedbug and rodent issues over the past several years, with the most recent bedbug reports (2024, 2023, and 2022) showing no infested or re-infested units. While the 2018 violations indicate some past maintenance challenges, the absence of recent violations and pest issues suggests improved building conditions.
