340 Ocean Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11218

340 Ocean Parkway is a 6-story, 77-unit residential building constructed in 1962, currently owned by Orlando Rosa. The building has been experiencing recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly between March and November 2024, with multiple complaints indicating problems affecting the entire building. Most recently, in February 2025, there was a plumbing-related water supply issue that resulted in violations being issued after an HPD inspection.

The building has several active violations with the Department of Buildings, including an unresolved issue regarding fire stopping in apartments 3F and 3G noted in October 2024, and a parking structure observation report that carries a $2,500 penalty. The property has encountered various safety and compliance challenges in recent years, including multiple violations in late 2024 related to doors not self-closing properly in various locations (laundry room, compactor closet, and multiple doors in the basement), and concerns about carbon monoxide detecting devices that were identified and subsequently certified as corrected in November 2024. There have been recent elevators and heat/hot water system complaints, though these appear to have been temporarily resolved or dismissed upon inspection.

Despite these issues, the building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations over the past four years, with no reported cases between 2019 and 2024. While the property has had some required inspections and compliance checks, including those related to Local Law 188/17, there were instances of inspectors being unable to gain access to units for verification in early 2023. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of heat and water-related complaints throughout 2024, suggesting ongoing infrastructure challenges that may affect resident comfort and building systems reliability.
