968 Rogers Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The two-family house at 968 Rogers Avenue in Flatbush, owned by Charles Rothstein, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years. Between 2021 and 2022, the building faced multiple incidents of water-related problems, including heavy flow leaks, slow leaks, and damp spots, notably affecting units on both the first and second floors.

The property also encountered significant heat and hot water supply issues, with violations issued in January 2022 for inadequate heating and hot water across the second-floor apartment. Apartment 2, in particular, received several Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2022 for pest infestations involving mice and roaches, though many other complaints related to unsanitary conditions and water leaks resulted in no violations being found upon inspection. More recent developments include a plumbing-related complaint in 2020, though no violations were recorded at the time of inspection, and an environmental control board violation from September 2019 concerning unauthorized plumbing work throughout the building.

However, the most recent inspection records show no bedbug infestations reported from 2021-2024. The building has received proper permit approvals for work conducted in 2023, with permits issued for electrical and plumbing work in June 2023, suggesting recent compliance with building maintenance requirements. While the property has experienced various maintenance challenges, particularly regarding water supply and pest control, the absence of recent major violations and the proper issuance of permits for current work indicate some improvement in building management practices.
