855 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226
855 Ocean Avenue in Flatbush is a 6-story, 47-unit residential building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Kristen Ray. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being multiple pest infestations reported in May 2025, for which violations were issued and are pending correction by the property owner. The building has also faced recurring heat and hot water problems, with multiple emergency complaints filed between November and December 2024 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.
Additional maintenance issues were documented in late 2023, including mold, bathroom plumbing problems, broken lock issues, and defective tiles in Apartment 3D, as well as concerns about carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in February 2024. The building's history includes some notable infrastructure work, with violations in late 2024 regarding self-closing door issues in the compactor closets on both the 1st and 6th stories. Inspections in 2023 uncovered various maintenance needs, including repairs to the front parapet wall.
While there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2020 and the building passed rodent inspections in 2022, the recent pest issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has had previous violations related to elevator systems and unpermitted work, though these were resolved by 2021. Regular bedbug reporting requirements have shown zero infestations in recent years, and historical rodent inspections indicate generally good pest control practices prior to the current pest issues.
