Augrented Insights Report for 505 Ocean Avenue

505 Ocean Avenue is a 6-story, 52-unit residential building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Margareta Miller. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, particularly between December 2024 and February 2025, when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding lack of heat and hot water throughout the entire building. While some complaints were resolved through inspections, others were closed due to lack of access for verification.

The building has also faced maintenance challenges, with several non-emergency complaints in early 2025 concerning water leaks and ceiling issues, and at least four Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded in January 2024 related to water leaks, ceiling maintenance, and heating system access. Additional concerns include a bedbug infestation reported in 2024 in apartment 4J, with historical records showing regular pest control interventions between 2019 and 2023, though all reported infestations were subsequently eradicated. The building's infrastructure has been subject to various inspections and violations, including a 2024 C violation for inadequate heating in apartment 6F and multiple A and B violations regarding ceiling conditions in the 1st-story vestibule area.

The property has undergone Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections, with the most recent active complaint from June 2024 showing no enforcement action required upon inspection. Historical maintenance records indicate some rodent inspection issues in 2010, though subsequent inspections passed in 2018. The building's documented history reveals ongoing challenges with basic services and maintenance, particularly regarding the heating system, with most recent issues concentrated between 2024 and 2025.
