Augrented Insights Report for 1170 Ocean Avenue

1170 Ocean Avenue is a 6-story, 54-unit residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Argyle Realty LP. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably involving heat and hot water system problems in April 2025, with multiple complaints indicating systemic deficiencies across the entire building.

Recent complaints from June 2025 include ongoing concerns about construction lead dust entering apartments, and previous complaints from 2025 indicated issues with mold, rodent infestations (with confirmed rat activity in both May and July 2025), and general maintenance matters involving the janitorial staff. The property has multiple open and unresolved violations, including a broken plastered surface and window issues in apartment 4G, and a range of HVAC-related problems documented between 2023 and 2024. Historical records show recurring elevator service issues, boiler maintenance problems, and various building code violations, including failures to maintain proper fire safety systems and building access requirements.

Notably, there have been three documented instances of bedbug infestations between 2019 and 2024, though recent filings show no active infestations. The building's rodent control program has produced mixed results, with recent inspections in 2025 confirming rat activity, while previous inspections between 2010-2016 showed varying results from "Bait applied" to "Passed" inspections. The property also has several active Department of Buildings violations related to benchmarking and inspection reporting requirements, with penalties associated with some of these violations.
