465 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226
The 6-story, 41-unit tenement building at 465 Ocean Avenue in Flatbush, owned by Alan Shamah, has experienced significant and ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in 2025. Recent complaints from May 2025 reveal multiple concerning issues, including water leaks (both slow and heavy flow), problems with flooring and stairs, door frame concerns, and various paint/plaster deficiencies. Several of these complaints resulted in HPD violations, though some inspection attempts were inconclusive due to access issues.
The building has also faced rodent issues, with multiple inspections throughout 2024 and 2025 confirming rat activity and requiring repeated bait applications. An inspection in late 2024 revealed multiple violations in apartment 4A, including floor damage, water leaks, and electrical issues, though some violations related to pest control were subsequently resolved. The building's maintenance history shows periodic concerns dating back several years, including a 2019 elevator issue and various Department of Buildings violations.
More recently, in 2024-2025, the property has been cited for water-related issues, including plumbing problems with sewer systems and steam pipes/riser concerns. While previous bedbug issues were documented in 2019-2020, more recent filings from 2022 onwards show no reported infestations. The property currently has an active DOB violation issued in September 2024 for failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, though the violation was certified as paid in June 2025. The building's age (built in 1927) and history as a New Law Tenement may contribute to some of the ongoing maintenance challenges observed.
