Augrented Insights Report for 555 Ocean Avenue

The 85-unit, 6-story building at 555 Ocean Avenue in Flatbush, currently owned by 555 O LLC, has exhibited numerous maintenance and safety issues over the past year. Most concerning is an active Department of Health and Mental Hygiene investigation into construction lead dust in common areas as of June 2025. The building has experienced persistent plumbing and water-related problems, evidenced by multiple emergency housing maintenance complaints in 2025, including water leaks with heavy flow and slow leaks, as well as issues with radiators and windows.

In April 2025, there were concerns about indoor air quality, and in March 2025, complaints about mold and flooring conditions were filed, though inspections could not be completed. The building's elevator systems have been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints in 2022 regarding single-device operation and lack of alternate service, resulting in Oath Violations. There are also several active Department of Buildings violations related to building maintenance and safety, including requirements for sidewalk sheds and energy efficiency compliance.

The property has been subject to multiple environmental control board violations regarding elevator service and façade maintenance, with penalties totaling over $16,000. Recent inspections have revealed rat activity in 2024-2025, though some baiting efforts were implemented. The building's current condition raises significant concerns about resident safety and maintenance standards, particularly regarding lead hazards, plumbing issues, and building systems reliability.
