147 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225
147 Ocean Avenue, a 4-story, 20-unit New Law tenement built in 1927 and currently owned by Moshe Rhine, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding building-wide mold and other environmental concerns. Most recently, in October 2024, the building received multiple violations for unsanitary conditions (including mold), ceiling paint/plaster issues, and flooring problems, with violations requiring correction within specified timeframes. These followed earlier complaints in October 2024 about cabinets and electric/gas range appliances that were found not to violate housing laws.
The building's January 2024 records indicated multiple heat and hot water complaints affecting the entire building, suggesting potential recurring issues with building systems. The property has documented pest control efforts, with inspections showing roach infestations in apartments 1D and 2D in October 2024, and previous infestations in apartment 3E in December 2023. While the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting history from 2019 to 2024 showing zero infested or re-infested units, concerns about building maintenance persist.
Other violations have included a 2019 Department of Buildings violation related to failure to file an annual boiler inspection report, though this was dismissed in 2022. The building has shown some variability in maintenance attention, with recent inspections revealing both emergency and non-emergency issues requiring attention, including particular attention needed for ceiling conditions, mold, and flooring repairs. The most recent rodent inspections (2017-2019) had mixed results, with rat activity noted in September 2017, though subsequent inspections in 2019 showed passing results.
