Augrented Insights Report for 1204 Ocean Avenue

1204 Ocean Avenue is a 4-story, 59-unit residential building located in Flatbush, Brooklyn, owned by Simeon Farber and constructed in 1917 as a New Law Tenement. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months (2025), including recurring water leak problems with heavy flow reported in both May and June 2025, heat and hot water system failures affecting the entire building in May 2025, and an ongoing rodent infestation with multiple complaints and inspections showing rat activity between 2024 and 2025.

Of particular concern is a recent Environmental Control Board violation (June 2024) regarding slope issues and a sagging ceiling observed in Apartment 42, indicating potential structural concerns. The building's history shows persistent maintenance challenges, with multiple HPD inspections in May 2025 finding various general and emergency issues, including problems with the intercom system, flooring, and stairs.

Apartment 3F has documented violations from December 2024 requiring repairs to windows, bathroom plaster, and door issues, while Apartment 1B had a confirmed roach infestation violation in late 2024. The property has undergone several rodent control measures throughout 2025, with multiple bait applications and inspections showing varying levels of rodent activity. While bedbug reports have consistently shown no infestations between 2021 and 2024, the building's current maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with both pests and basic building systems.
