135 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11225
The 6-story, 75-unit building at 135 Ocean Avenue in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by Margareta Miller and constructed in 1928 as a New Law Tenement, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues over the past several years. Most concerning are recent problems with mold and window frame maintenance, with a 2025 inspection resulting in an HPD inspector being unable to gain access to assess the window frame issue.
In early 2024, the building faced multiple violations in Apartment 3J, including excessive hot water temperatures, defective plaster and paint on ceilings, window issues, heating system problems, and electrical concerns. While these violations were later certified as corrected, they reflect ongoing maintenance challenges. The building has also experienced persistent elevator problems, particularly between 2018-2021, with multiple complaints about defective systems and unauthorized devices.
Historical data shows a pattern of maintenance issues, including a 2019-2021 period of electrical and safety violations, though more recent records indicate improved conditions regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations since 2019. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, and completed all required rodent inspections, though there were some failed inspections in 2019-2020. The most recent Department of Buildings violation from December 2024 is related to energy efficiency score display requirements, which remains active as of 2025.
