455 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226
The 6-story, 40-unit residential building at 455 Ocean Avenue in Flatbush, owned by Michael Kohn, has exhibited significant maintenance issues in recent months. As of mid-2025, there have been multiple service requests and violations, particularly related to elevator maintenance, plumbing problems, and pest control. Between June 2025 and August 2025, there were several 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints regarding safety concerns (fire escape), multiple plumbing issues (toilets), and maintenance matters including paint/plaster work needed on walls and ceilings.
Notably, there were violations issued in 2024 related to elevator maintenance, with one violation specifying the need for repairs to the in-car emergency phone, pit cleaning, lighting repairs, and maintenance logs. Historical records show persistent elevator-related issues, with multiple complaints about single-device operation and lack of alternate service between 2022 and 2025. The building has also faced challenges with pest control, evidenced by repeated rodent activity reports throughout 2024-2025, with bait applications continuing into 2025.
There were violations identified in a December 2024 inspection of Apartment 1A, including issues with light fixtures, plaster surfaces, and a carbon monoxide detector, though many of these were marked as resolved by early 2025. External maintenance matters have been documented, including deteriorating mortar joints at roof level and various building systems violations. The property has shown a pattern of non-compliance with certain regulations, as seen in active violations regarding inspection filings for low-pressure systems and previously resolved violations relating to elevator safety features and building maintenance requirements. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years, the building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with both basic maintenance and building systems requirements, particularly regarding elevator service and rodent control.
