800 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226
The 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 800 Ocean Avenue in Flatbush has experienced significant maintenance challenges, particularly during 2024-2025. Water-related issues are a prominent concern, with multiple documented incidents of "heavy flow" leaks, including three complaints between November and December 2024 that warranted Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly affecting Apartment 1B's ceilings. Other notable maintenance issues have included plumbing problems (bathtub/shower and sink), ceiling paint/plaster concerns, and essential services interruptions such as a heat/hot water issue and power outage in April 2024.
The building's safety systems have also required attention, with violations recorded in March 2024 for missing carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 4D and various maintenance issues in Apartments 1C and 2D related to electrical and bathroom fixtures. The property has undergone regular inspections for pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years. While there have been verified instances of rat activity in 2023, recent inspections in 2024 show improved compliance with pest control measures, including bait applications.
A complaint regarding illegal conversion was filed in 2021, though the inspector was unable to gain access for verification. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of persistent water-related issues, with multiple emergency complaints and some instances requiring violation issuance, suggesting an ongoing challenge with plumbing infrastructure or maintenance response. However, most recent complaints have been closed, indicating that while issues are recurring, they are typically being addressed through the appropriate channels. The property has maintained its status as a legal dwelling unit, with no recent eviction or illegal occupancy issues reported.
