81 Ocean Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11218
81 Ocean Parkway is a six-story, 80-unit residential building constructed in 1938, currently owned by Mark Levine. The building has experienced several maintenance challenges in recent years, with the most significant current issues relating to safety requirements and building facade maintenance. As of November 2023, the building has open Housing Maintenance Code violations for failing to post required smoke detector and gas leak procedures notices in common areas, though a prior violation for a non-functioning door closer was resolved in December 2023.
The building's facade has been a recurring concern, with Environmental Control Board violations issued in 2024 for cracked windows on the 6th floor, resulting in $2,500 penalties, and a 2021 violation for inadequate safety measures regarding an unsafe facade that incurred a $10,000 penalty. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of heating and water issues, with a heat/hot water complaint in 2019 and multiple water leak complaints in 2018. More recent structural concerns include numerous Department of Buildings complaints in early 2024 regarding work without permits, though inspections generally resulted in no violations being found. The property has also experienced pest issues, with a single unit reporting bedbug infestation and successful eradication in late 2024, following several years of zero reported infestations.
Rodent activity has been monitored, with inspections in early 2024 showing initial rat activity, though a subsequent compliance inspection resulted in a passing grade. The building's violation history includes several instances of the owner failing to adequately address safety concerns, particularly during the 2021 facade inspection cycle. Multiple complaints in 2024 were related to access issues during inspections, and while some violations were resolved, including elevator maintenance issues, others remain open as of the latest available data. The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple citations for not maintaining proper safety measures and addressing facade issues, suggesting ongoing challenges with building maintenance and compliance with safety regulations.
