Augrented Insights Report for 979 Ocean Avenue

979 Ocean Avenue is a 6-story, 36-unit residential building constructed in 1961, currently owned by Adam Parkoff. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past year, with multiple emergency complaints filed between October 2024 and April 2025, though records indicate that heat and hot water were typically restored by the time of inspections. There are also several recent concerns documented in June 2025 regarding ventilation systems and unsanitary conditions, including pest-related issues.

The building's elevator system has been a persistent concern, with complaints about no alternate service dating back to 2018, most recently recorded in June 2025 as an active complaint. The Department of Buildings has cited multiple violations, including a February 2024 violation with a $1,250 penalty for various elevator maintenance issues, and more recent violations related to energy efficiency compliance. The building has undergone various maintenance challenges over the past few years, including boiler issues, electrical wiring concerns, and problems with building systems such as intercoms and door mechanisms.

In recent months, there have been documented pest control issues, as evidenced by June 2025 complaints. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a zero-tolerance policy for bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past eight reporting periods from 2020 to 2025. Historical records show a mix of compliance and violation history, with significant attention needed to address recurring system failures and maintenance issues. The property has consistently filed required bedbug reports showing no infestations, and recent rodent inspections have passed, though there were some failures noted in 2009 and 2012.
