1086 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230
The 4-story, 35-unit apartment building at 1086 Ocean Avenue in Flatbush, owned by Samuel Hertz and constructed in 1931, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water during the winter months of 2024-2025. Multiple complaints were filed through HPD, particularly between December 2024 and February 2025, including three separate heat/hot water complaints in December 2024 alone.
The building has also faced several maintenance challenges, with violations issued in December 2024 for unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, mold, and issues with paint/plaster on walls and ceilings. Apartment D4 has documented violations related to window repairs, plaster surfaces, and an infestation of roaches, though most violations have been certified as corrected. The property has a history of various infrastructure concerns, including a building-wide complaint about shaking/vibration in December 2024, electrical wiring issues in 2022, and boiler problems in 2020.
Recent inspections in 2024 showed recurring rat activity, with baiting programs implemented throughout the year. While there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years (2021-2024), the building's maintenance history shows a pattern of persistent problems requiring multiple complaints and inspections, particularly during winter months. The building's December 2024 violations included issues with window frames, ceiling and wall conditions, and building entrance door problems, many of which were classified as emergency situations requiring prompt attention.
