Augrented Insights Report for 550 Ocean Avenue

550 Ocean Avenue is a 6-story, 38-unit residential building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Margareta Miller. The building has experienced a number of maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, with the most recent being a broken window guard reported in April 2025 that could not be inspected by HPD. Significant plumbing issues were documented in late 2024, including radiator problems and a heavy water leak affecting multiple areas.

The building has faced recurring pest control challenges, with both rat sightings and pest-related complaints recorded in 2024, though a June 2024 inspection passed compliance. The property has an open housing maintenance code violation from October 2023 regarding a defective self-closing door in Apartment 1A and multiple historical elevator issues, with several ECB violations related to elevator safety between 2018-2025, including problems with the door lock monitoring device and maintenance issues that resulted in penalties. The building has maintained a relatively clean bedbug record, with no reported infestations since 2019, though there were two units affected in 2019. The property has undergone several inspections and faced various violations related to its fire safety systems, including issues with fire escape access and requirements for self-closing doors.

Recent inspections have shown some improvements, with multiple previously open violations being resolved, including repairs to a cracked brick wall and various doors. Water-related issues have been a recurring theme, with complaints about leaks, ceiling damage, and radiator problems affecting Resident 1A that resulted in multiple housing maintenance code violations. The building's management has shown some responsiveness to violations, with several being certified as corrected, though some open violations remain regarding water damage and door issues. The building's elevator system has been a particular focus of enforcement actions, with multiple violations and fines issued between 2018 and 2025, though inspections in 2024 showed improved compliance.
