1129 Rogers Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building at 1129 Rogers Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Henry Jacob and dating back to 1899, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing rodent problem, with a rat sighting complaint filed in August 2021 that remains unresolved as of the latest available data, and documented rat activity during rodent inspections in October and August 2022.

The building has also faced sanitation challenges, particularly in mid-2021, when multiple violations were issued relating to garbage and recycling storage conditions, including issues with refuse accumulation, improper receptacles, and container lids, though these violations were subsequently closed. The property has maintained a clean record in recent years concerning bedbug infestations, with all four annual bedbug reports (2021-2025) showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infestation cases.

However, the building was issued violations in 2021 and 2023 for failing to file the required annual bedbug report, though these violations have since been marked as closed. The most recent housing maintenance code violation of record from April 2024, relating to the bedbug report filing requirement, shows as "Closed" but the resolution certification date is not specified. While the building's most critical current issues appear to center around rodent activity and historical sanitation violations, the absence of recent bedbug problems represents a notable improvement in one aspect of building maintenance.
