Augrented Insights Report for 485 Ocean Avenue

485 Ocean Avenue is a six-story, 100-unit Class A apartment building in Flatbush, built in 1931 and currently owned by Rachel Wolf. The building has experienced recurring heating issues, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints spanning from February 2024 to March 2025, often affecting the entire building. Although many of these complaints were eventually resolved, inspections frequently could not gain access to units for verification.

The property has also faced various maintenance challenges, including plumbing issues in September 2024 affecting the basin/sink, an appliance problem with the refrigerator in July 2024, and a significant water leak reported in February 2024. More serious concerns emerged in early 2024, with violations documented for unsanitary conditions including mold and pests, and additional plumbing violations recorded for the building's systems. The building's history reveals ongoing elevator maintenance issues, particularly between 2018-2020, with multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints regarding elevator devices and safety systems.

Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from 2018-2019 indicate various elevator-related problems requiring attention, with penalties imposed during this period but later resolved. Recent building inspections have shown mixed results, with rodent activity noted in early 2023 and a passed inspection for rodent activity in June 2023. The property has maintained better bedbug control in recent years, with no reported infestations in the latest two reporting periods (2023-2024). While some building systems and maintenance issues have been resolved, the recurring heating problems and historical elevator concerns suggest ongoing challenges with building infrastructure and maintenance responsiveness.
