755 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The 6-story, 95-unit building at 755 Ocean Avenue in Flatbush, owned by 755 Realty LLC and constructed in 1931, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges throughout recent years, particularly in 2024-2025. Most notably, there is an ongoing rodent infestation issue, with multiple complaints and inspections showing consistent rat activity despite bait application efforts from September 2024 through June 2025.

The building has also faced significant plumbing and water-related maintenance issues, including multiple violations concerning bathtubs/showers, sinks, and water leaks, with several requiring court intervention for resolution. Recent months have seen clusters of housing maintenance code complaints between April and June 2025, involving issues with paint/plaster on walls and ceilings, flooring conditions, and unsanitary pest-related problems. The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about "Multiple Devices on Property" from 2022-2025, though inspections usually found no violations or resulted in the resolution of the issues.

The building has active DOB violations as of 2023 regarding failure to submit required inspection reports, and there are resolved environmental control board violations from 2022-2024 concerning elevator maintenance and fire safety systems. Previous months showed a pattern of pest-related issues, including documented infestations of mice and roaches in multiple apartments, particularly in 2H and 3I, with some apartments requiring repairs to carbon monoxide detectors and various other maintenance issues being documented and subsequently resolved. While bedbug reports from 2018-2022 show no documented infestations, the building's current maintenance record indicates ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure and pest control that continue to require attention.
