101 Ocean Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The 6-story, 60-unit residential building at 101 Ocean Parkway in Windsor Terrace, constructed in 1935 and currently owned by Flamur Maloku, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, between late 2024 and mid-2025, there have been multiple reports of unsanitary conditions including mold (with the most recent complaints in June 2025), water leaks, and problems with garbage/recycling storage. The building has also faced significant heating and hot water issues, particularly in January 2025, when multiple complaints were filed regarding both building-wide and individual unit problems, though HPD inspections generally confirmed restoration of services. The property has active code violations as of September 2024, including an infestation issue (specifically involving mice in the rear east yard), and several maintenance matters involving doors, garbage can covers, and plumbing fixtures in apartment 1F.

Structural concerns have been documented, with the building's exterior showing signs of deterioration according to Environmental Control Board violations from 2023, noting spalling masonry issues on both the north and south elevations. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of heat and water-related issues, particularly during the winter months, along with ongoing problems related to waste management and sanitation. While the building experienced a bedbug infestation in late 2019-2020 (affecting 25 units), subsequent yearly reports from 2020-2024 show no recorded infestations. Recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 have noted rat activity on the property, though previous inspections in 2018 showed compliance in this area.

The property has also had various Department of Buildings complaints regarding safety systems and maintenance, including issues with the elevator, sidewalk shed requirements, and failure to maintain building walls. Violations regarding energy benchmarking reports have been dismissed after proper submissions. The building has been under regular inspection and monitoring for compliance with housing codes, with most recent complaints being addressed through official inspections and, in some instances, resulting in open violations that require correction. The management's response to service requests has generally involved HPD inspections, with varying degrees of resolution ranging from confirmation of corrections to issuance of violations requiring further action.
