799 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

799 Ocean Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Yossel Lichtman. The property has experienced several notable events over the past five years, with the most recent being regular bedbug reporting compliance showing no infestations in 2024-2025, as well as successful rodent control measures with inspections passing in 2022 after initial rat activity was reported and addressed.

A significant construction period occurred between 2019-2020, during which multiple violations were documented, including unsafe working conditions, improper guardrails, lack of protection for adjacent properties, and inadequate safety measures, particularly during a period of construction activity with multiple complaints regarding construction safety compliance. These violations resulted in several Environmental Control Board penalties totaling $21,000, though records indicate these were eventually resolved. The building underwent proper bedbug management procedures from 2020-2025, consistently reporting zero infested or re-infested units.

Housing maintenance violations were primarily related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports in 2021 and 2022, which were subsequently corrected. The property has maintaining an active compliance history since the construction period, with regular inspections showing attention to pest control and bedbug management requirements. The building's recent history (2022-2025) shows improved compliance with health and safety regulations, particularly regarding pest management and construction safety, though the property did experience some initial rodent activity in 2022 that was subsequently resolved through compliance inspection.
