390 Ocean Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11218

390 Ocean Parkway is a 6-story, 41-unit Class A residential building constructed in 1937 and currently owned by Yisroel Rabinowitz. The building has experienced significant and persistent heat/hot water issues, particularly in April 2025, with multiple tenant complaints filed through 311 services.

Between April 2 and April 12, 2025, there were at least ten documented complaints regarding the lack of heat and hot water across the entire building, most of which were noted as emergencies. While some complaints were resolved with the restoration of services, the recurring nature of these issues is concerning. The building has also been the subject of various safety and maintenance violations over the past few years.

In November 2024, notable violations included a hot water issue specifically affecting Apartment 6B, and multiple violations regarding defective self-closing doors in the entrance and public areas. The fire escape maintenance was flagged as a concern in multiple inspections in late 2024, with violations related to the fire escape ladder shoes. While the building has maintained a clean record with respect to bedbugs over the past six reporting periods (with no reported infestations between 2020 and 2025), elevator service has seen attention, with complaints filed in late 2023 and historical violations from 2019 regarding elevator defects.
