Rosenstein, the son of a Jewish doctor, graduated from secondary school in Odessa and then studied in St. Petersburg at the engineering college with graduation in 1903. He then worked for the Russian-Swedish concrete pipe factory Andrei Ellers . For the 1908 International Art and Industry Exhibition in St. Petersburg, he built the company pavilion out of concrete pipes on Kamenni Ostrow (Stone Island) .

1906–1908 Rosenstein built three houses on different streets in St. Petersburg. In 1908 he obtained the concession for the construction of a new street, the Great Prospect on the Petrograd side, from the St. Petersburg City Duma . He divided the area into 10 parts for the construction of residential houses with the obligation of the future owners to ensure the uniform character of the street. For the facade design of his own houses No. 75 and 77, he hired the architect A. J. Belogrud , while he took over the civil engineering services himself (1912–1915). Accordingly, he built house no. 81 for DM Goncharov together with AJ Rodionov from 1910 to 1911 .

After the October Revolution , Rosenstein planned the cities of Chibinogorsk and Podporozhje as well as industrial residential areas. In the 1930s he worked as an architect for the GOMS group , which manufactured cameras and optical devices.

Rosenstein was buried in the Serafimov Cemetery in Leningrad .
