Augrented Insights Report for 287 Ocean Avenue

287 Ocean Avenue, a 4-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1924 and containing 23 units, is currently owned by Jody Fox. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent concern being a heat and hot water complaint in April 2025 that was investigated by HPD but found not to violate housing laws.

A notable cluster of issues occurred in September 2024, involving multiple safety and maintenance concerns, including problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, a power outage, and various issues with floors, stairs, and walls. Two specific violations were issued during this period related to paint and plaster conditions, requiring the "repair the broken or defective plastered surfaces and paint in a uniform color" and address lead-based paint hazards in Apartment 6B. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of both emergency and non-emergency complaints being addressed by HPD, with most issues being resolved through inspections that either found no violations or resulted in the issuance of violations that were later certified as corrected.

A gas-related complaint in September 2024 was also investigated but found no warranted violations. The property has maintained an active record of bedbug inspections over the years (2019-2025), with no infestations reported in the most recent filings and only one eradication noted in 2018. Rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with a passed inspection in January 2023 following a rat activity report in December 2022, though earlier inspections in 2019 and 2017 passed successfully.
