995 Rogers Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The three-unit, three-story building at 995 Rogers Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Linwood Pender Jr. and built in 1901, presents several significant maintenance and safety concerns as of 2025. Most pressing are multiple open violations from September 2023, including Class C issues such as inadequate hot water in Apartment 3, defective fire egress windows in Apartment 3, broken skylight glass panes, and a fire damage-related nuisance in Apartment 1.

There are also concerns regarding self-closing door functionality in Apartment 3. The building's recent maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring issues, with a notable heat and hot water emergency in December 2019 affecting the entire building, and multiple safety concerns in December 2018 involving broken window guards and electrical wiring issues. The building has been subject to annual bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent report filed in May 2024 showing no infestations during the previous reporting period (2022-2023).

A mosquito complaint was registered with the Department of Health in July 2023, though this was a citywide public health matter rather than a building-specific issue. Historical violations from late 2018 related to wall and ceiling conditions resulted in citations, and there were similar issues reported in December 2018 concerning various building systems. While some violations have been resolved over time, the building continues to have ongoing maintenance issues as evidenced by the current open violations, particularly affecting Apartments 1 and 3.
