1139 Rogers Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The three-story, 3-unit tenement building at 1139 Rogers Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Grace Durand, was constructed in 1899 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there are multiple open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2020-2024, indicating potential ongoing pest management concerns.

The building has a documented history of water-related problems, including heavy flow water leaks, various plumbing issues involving bathtubs, showers, toilets, and sinks, as well as persistent mold and unsanitary conditions. In 2020, there were specific violations issued for a mold condition in an apartment bathroom, and broken or defective plastered surfaces and paint issues were documented across multiple units. The building's maintenance history shows clusters of complaints, particularly in 2020 when multiple issues were reported simultaneously, including rodent sightings (rats), plumbing problems, and paint/plaster concerns - all of which resulted in violations being issued after HPD inspections.

More recent complaints from December 2021 regarding ceiling paint/plaster and mold problems could not be inspected due to lack of access, though these were treated as emergency complaints. While some violations have been closed, including specific plumbing and mold issues from 2020, several open violations remain, particularly those relating to bedbug reporting requirements, suggesting possible ongoing management compliance issues. The property has undergone various inspections and resolutions, though the pattern of repeated violations for similar issues indicates a potential ongoing maintenance challenge.
