300 Ocean Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The 6-story, 94-unit residential building at 300 Ocean Parkway in Kensington, owned by Arthur Wiener and constructed in 1941, has experienced recurring heat and hot water system issues, with multiple emergency complaints recorded between December 2024 and April 2025, including three incidents in 2025 alone. The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, particularly in apartment 2J, as evidenced by November 2023 violations including defective windows, non-functional smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and visible mold conditions in the bathroom. A series of elevator-related complaints was filed between 2021 and 2024, though most were dismissed or found to have no violations upon inspection.

The property's exterior and structural integrity has been a concern, with violations recorded in 2020-2021 regarding building walls and appurtenances, including a 2021 violation for dislodged bricks from the 6th-floor parapet. However, these were resolved, with penalties paid. The building's safety systems have received attention, with multiple violations requiring correction of defective detectors in apartment 1A and 2J, most of which were certified as corrected by early 2024.

While there was one reported incident of bedbugs in 2019-2020, subsequent annual filings from 2020 to 2024 show zero infestations. The property has maintained compliance with rodent inspections, passing all inspections conducted in 2010 and 2012. Recent complaints suggest ongoing challenges with heat/hot water supply, with tenants frequently reporting issues, though many complaints were closed with confirmation of restored services during inspections, indicating potential recurring system reliability problems that may affect resident comfort.
