Augrented Insights Report for 543 Ocean Avenue

The 62-unit, 6-story apartment building at 543 Ocean Avenue in Flatbush, owned by Ayhan Turkman, has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed through HPD between October 2024 and February 2025. These complaints, some affecting the entire building and others specific to individual apartments, were generally resolved through temporary fixes, though violations were issued in at least one instance.

The building, constructed in 1939, has faced several maintenance challenges, most notably a cluster of violations identified in April 2024 related to a single apartment (6B) including roof leaks affecting ceilings, window frame issues, and mold concerns, all of which were certified as corrected by May 2024. More recent concerns include active ECB violations from late 2024 regarding building facade maintenance, with specific issues noted at the west, north, and south elevations including cracks and window sill defects. The building's elevator system has raised safety concerns in the past, with complaints about lack of alternate service in 2018 and 2019, though no violations were found at the time of inspection.

The property has maintained a relatively good record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the last three filing periods (2022-2025), and previous rodent inspections in 2018 and 2013 resulted in passing grades. The building's roofing and facade maintenance has been a recurring theme, with violations related to exterior walls and fire escape access noted in 2024, though some older violations from 2018 regarding inspection reports and boiler room signage have been resolved. The most recent notable concern is an active violation from February 2024 regarding the failure to file a required FISP Cycle 9C technical report by the deadline.
