860 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226
860 Ocean Avenue is a 6-story, 54-unit residential building constructed in 1940, currently owned by Carl Zekaria and located in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, most notably regarding heat and hot water systems, with multiple complaints recorded in early 2025 showing temporary restoration of services during HPD inspections. There have been persistent problems with water leaks, mold (unsanitary conditions), and flooring issues, including a recent incident in May 2025 for which HPD was unable to gain access for inspection.
The building's maintenance record shows violations related to plumbing, including toilet issues and unauthorized pesticide use, particularly affecting unit 3G. In late 2024, serious concerns were documented regarding lead paint hazards and various sanitary conditions in 3G, while unit 3J had plumbing and window problems that were subsequently addressed. The building's elevator system has been a subject of ongoing attention, with multiple complaints between 2018 and 2024 regarding maintenance and safety equipment, though inspections often resulted in "No Violation Warranted" findings. The elevator-related ECB violations from 2018-2024 suggest periodic maintenance issues, with some resulting in financial penalties.
Notably, there have been consistent reports of various building maintenance issues being addressed through HPD inspections and violations, including problems with plaster surfaces, paint conditions, and pest management. However, the building's recent bedbug and rodent inspections have shown no infestations since 2019, indicating effective pest management practices. The property has maintained its compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing zero infested units in recent years. Despite the recurring maintenance issues, many past violations appear to have been resolved within the required timelines, with recent complaints primarily focused on access issues during inspections rather than the underlying problems themselves.
