Augrented Insights Report for 265 Ocean Avenue

The 265 Ocean Avenue building, a 4-story New Law Tenement constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Roy Bedeau, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly during 2025. There has been an ongoing pattern of heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with multiple complaints filed between February and April 2025, though many of these complaints were marked as duplicates of existing issues. The most recent complaints include plumbing issues involving a bathtub/shower (May 2025) and unsanitary sewage conditions (March 2025). The building also has several serious electrical violations, with active ECB violations from March 2024 indicating improper wiring and grounding issues that pose safety concerns, including unconnected ground electrode wires and exposed electrical components.

The property has a documented history of maintenance challenges, particularly concentrated in apartment 5C, which has multiple open violations from August 2024 related to pest infestation (roaches), water leaks, various repairs needed to fixtures, and safety equipment. There are also active ECB violations regarding electrical and grounding issues from March 2024 with significant penalties assessed, though these appear to be related to various electrical safety concerns requiring attention. The building underwent multiple inspections for rodent activity between 2015 and 2022, with several instances of rat activity detected, though recent bedbug reporting shows no infestations between 2022 and 2025. The building's permit history shows various electrical and plumbing complaints throughout 2023-2024, including illegal plumbing work and exposed electrical wiring issues.

Maintenance inspections have revealed multiple violations of housing maintenance codes, particularly regarding plumbing, electrical, and safety systems. While some violations have been resolved, many remain open or were closed due to inability to gain access for inspection. The building's location on Ocean Avenue is in a neighborhood with generally stable housing conditions, but this property has exhibited recurring issues with basic systems such as heat and water, as well as safety concerns related to electrical systems. The pattern of complaints and violations suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and owner responsiveness, particularly regarding access for inspections and repairs.
