Augrented Insights Report for 499 Ocean Avenue

The 48-unit, 6-story building at 499 Ocean Avenue in Flatbush, owned by Jack Garber, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with the heating and hot water systems, with multiple complaints throughout 2025 alone, including building-wide outages in April and January. The building has also faced several water-related issues, including emergency plumbing problems in June 2025, a heavy water leak in May 2025, and various plumbing and sewage issues documented in 2024-2025.

The elevator system has been a persistent concern, with numerous complaints between 2023 and 2024 regarding single device operation and no alternate service, as well as multiple violations related to elevator maintenance documented through the Environmental Control Board, with penalties totaling $3,562. The building has undergone several inspections revealing various violations, including a missing carbon monoxide detector in 6F and visible mold in the bathroom of the same apartment (both in 2024). Additional maintenance issues have been documented, such as broken plaster and paint defects in 4F, water leak problems, and multiple heat/hot water complaints.

Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record concerning bedbugs since 2019, with no reported infestations in any of the previous eight filing periods. Recent inspections have shown consistent rodent control compliance, though there were periods of initial failures requiring follow-up inspections. The property currently has two active violations regarding the display of energy efficiency scores, dating back to 2021-2022.
