269 Ocean Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11218

269 Ocean Parkway is a 6-story, 49-unit residential building constructed in 1941, currently owned by Moshe and Pessie Schweid. The building has experienced multiple significant heating issues recently, with ten separate heat/hot water complaints in May 2025, all indicating problems with the building-wide system, though most were resolved following HPD inspections confirming restoration of service. The property has also faced persistent elevator problems, with multiple complaints and violations documented between 2024-2025, including issues with multiple call responses and door misalignment.

A concerning pattern emerged in late 2024 through mid-2025, when the building received numerous housing maintenance code violations, including defective fire escape components, inadequate garbage disposal facilities, and significant issues in apartment 6G involving pest infestations, defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and plumbing problems. The building's mechanical systems also show recurring problems, with multiple boiler and water pressure issues reported between 2024-2025, including operating under a single elevator device, defective boiler systems, and various elevator malfunctions that resulted in violations. Environmental Control Board violations from late 2023 and early 2024 highlighted several mechanical issues including a defective heat control computer, poor burner flame, and elevator system problems, though most of these were subsequently resolved or had no penalties imposed. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections with mixed results, showing both compliance and failed inspections in 2025, though the most recent reports from 2024-2025 show no active infestations.

Bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 consistently show no affected units. The property has also received various general maintenance violations, including issues with building signage and self-closing doors, though many of these were promptly addressed and closed. While many of the recent service requests and violations have been resolved through proper channels, the recurring nature of the heating, elevator, and mechanical system issues suggests ongoing challenges with building infrastructure maintenance. The building's ownership group has generally responded to violations, with most being certified as corrected, though some technical violations related to plumbing and electrical work have appeared as "active" in recent records.
