Augrented Insights Report for 39 Ocean Avenue

39 Ocean Avenue is a 6-story, 30-unit residential building constructed in 1936, currently owned by Alan Hertz. The building has faced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns revolving around heat/hot water problems, moisture, and pest control. In 2025, there was a heat/hot water complaint affecting the entire building, though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

Throughout late 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions related to mold, water leaks, and various maintenance issues including problems with walls, flooring, and stairs. Notably, a cluster of violations was documented in November 2024 specifically relating to apartment 6E, including issues with doors, windows, flooring, and pest infestation. The elevator system has been a persistent concern, with multiple complaints and violations recorded between 2023 and 2024 regarding malfunctioning components and safety requirements, including missing cab mirrors, inoperative phone, and water in the pit.

The building has experienced periodic pest infestations, with bedbug reports showing varying numbers of affected units between 2019 and 2024, though the most recent report from December 2024 indicates only one infested unit that was subsequently eradicated. While some inspection findings showed no violation warranted, others resulted in issued violations that required corrections, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has passed rodent inspections in 2019 and 2017, suggesting generally effective vermin control in this regard.
