809 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

809 Ocean Avenue is a 4-story, 16-unit tenement building constructed in 1913, currently owned by David Winiarski and located in the Flatbush neighborhood. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly evident through multiple emergency complaints in 2020, 2021, and 2022, as well as a recent related complaint in May 2023. In November 2020, the building had serious maintenance issues including mold, plumbing problems, and defective kitchen fixtures in apartment 2D, though some violations from this period were subsequently closed.

More recent inspections in 2023 revealed some violations including an illegal metal gate fastening and a failure to file annual bedbug reports, though the building has maintained a record of zero infested units in the bedbug reporting system for the past three years. The property has active Department of Buildings violations from April and June 2023 related to external low-pressure inspection filings. The building experienced multiple maintenance issues in 2021-2023, with complaints about garbage storage and plumbing problems, though many were closed without violations being issued.

The most recent inspection in 2024 indicated compliance with most housing maintenance codes, except for the previously mentioned bedbug reporting violation. Records show rodent activity was present in 2022, with bait applied as part of the building's response. The building has generally maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance since 2020, with no reported infestations in the past three documented periods. The history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing maintenance issues, with particular attention needed to the building's heating and hot water systems.
