726 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226
726 Ocean Avenue is a 6-story, 30-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1912, currently owned by Rosario Parlanti. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in 2025, with ten documented complaints between January and April of that year, all affecting the entire building. These complaints were generally addressed by HPD, though access issues sometimes hindered inspections. In 2024, the building received several serious violations and maintenance issues, including fire door problems, an infestation of mice in apartment 43, various door and window security concerns, and multiple violations related to hot water access.
While a bedbug infestation was documented in 2021, subsequent annual reports from 2022-2024 show zero cases and successful eradication of the limited 2019-2020 infestation. The building's maintenance history includes both active and resolved violations regarding occupancy, energy efficiency reporting, and various maintenance issues. Multiple complaints about illegal conversions were filed between 2020-2023, with one active violation from 2020 regarding an unauthorized Class 'A' apartment at the first story (apt 14A) featuring an unlawful electric range and kitchen sink. The property has undergone rodent control measures between 2019-2020, with documented rat activity and bait applications.
Several building systems improvements and repairs are documented through permit issuances between 2018-2022, including plumbing, electrical, and alteration work. The building's recent heat and hot water problems in early 2025 are particularly notable, with multiple complaints filed over several months. While these complaints were generally addressed throughout February to April 2025, the pattern of complaints suggests ongoing concerns with the building's heating and hot water systems. The property has also faced issues with building safety systems, as evidenced by the fire door violations and concerns about fire escape access. Additionally, the building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing compliance issues that may impact resident comfort and safety.
