1100 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The 30-unit, 4-story building at 1100 Ocean Avenue in Flatbush, owned by Yakov Fischer, has experienced several maintenance and habitability issues in recent years. The most significant recent concerns include recurring heat and hot water problems, with emergency complaints documented in both November 2024 and February 2025. The building has also faced pest control challenges, with multiple rodent complaints in 2024 and 2025, though recent inspections in 2025 resulted in passing grades.

Notable violations were documented in late 2024 in Apartment 3F, including issues with lead-based paint hazards, mold, various appliance problems, and ceiling damage, all of which were certified as corrected by early 2025. The Department of Buildings has issued three active violations related to external low-pressure inspection filings between 2021 and 2023, and there were historical complaints about debris in 2019 that resulted in no violations being found. The building's recent maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing issues, though with repeat incidents suggesting ongoing challenges.

For example, while the most recent rodent complaints were addressed with inspections showing no violations, there is a recurring pattern of pest-related issues dating back to 2014, with the most recent report in June 2025 citing concerns about garbage and recycling storage. The property has maintained a good record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past three years, and previous infestations in 2020-2021 were resolved. The building's overall compliance record shows periodic violations being addressed, though some issues have required multiple complaints and inspections before resolution.
