446 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226
The 47-unit, four-story tenement building at 446 Ocean Avenue in Flatbush, built in 1914 and currently owned by Barry Rudofsky, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months. Between April and June 2025, there were multiple complaints requiring Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) intervention, including violations related to heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, water supply issues, and unsanitary conditions including mold. Specifically, the building has open violations from April 2025 concerning problems with the ceiling paint/plaster and bathtub/shower plumbing.
More recent complaints from June 2025 also noted ceiling plaster issues and water leaks, with HPD issuing violations that the property owner has been given time to correct. The building's history shows persistent maintenance challenges, particularly affecting Apartment 1I, which has multiple open violations from an October 2024 inspection related to water leaks, broken plastered surfaces, and lead-based paint hazards on various surfaces, including window frames, door frames, and walls. Previous years have seen other notable incidents, including a 2019 complaint about building shaking, and concerns about a cornice separation. The property has consistently passed rodent inspections, with no infestations reported in recent years, and while there was one instance of bedbug infestation reported in late 2024, it was subsequently eradicated.
Recent bedbug reports from 2025 show no further infestations. The building has experienced several heat and hot water issues, with emergency complaints filed and corresponding violations issued in both April and May 2025. Multiple 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints related to plumbing issues, including water supply problems, have been recorded in 2025, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges. While some earlier violations related to sidewalk safety and similar issues have been resolved or dismissed, the most pressing concerns currently center around the building's heating system, plumbing infrastructure, and general maintenance conditions impacting tenant habitability and comfort.
