201 Ocean Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The 4-story, 35-unit building at 201 Ocean Parkway in Kensington, owned by Teed L.p, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years. Most recently, in December 2023, the building received violations for unsanitary garbage storage, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) finding the receptacles inadequate (Class B violation), which remained open as of 2025. The building has faced recurring heat and hot water issues, with emergency complaints recorded in 2021 and 2022, though these were reportedly resolved.

A notable infestation occurred in July 2023 (Class B violation) affecting apartment 2F, though this was addressed by August 2023. Multiple complaints about window frames were documented in 2020, with violations issued, and the building has experienced various unsanitary conditions, including mold and pest problems, most recently in July 2023. The property has a documented history of bedbug infestations between 2019-2021, though reports from 2022-2024 indicate no recent occurrences. Rodent inspections have generally passed since 2015, except for a rat activity finding in May 2015.

There are several open violations that remain unaddressed, including security concerns regarding building entrance locks (Class B violation from 2022) and encumbrances in public halls (Class B violation from 2021). The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services and environmental conditions, though recent rodent inspections (October 2023) reported compliance. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, recent records show some improvements in infestation management, with no bedbug reports since 2021 and recent rodent inspections passing. However, persistent violations related to waste management and unresolved structural issues (such as window frames) indicate ongoing maintenance challenges.
