Augrented Insights Report for 399 Ocean Parkway

The 6-story, 68-unit building at 399 Ocean Parkway, owned by Kevin Gershenson and constructed in 1963, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly related to plumbing and heating systems. Most notably, in December 2024, there were multiple complaints regarding steam pipes/risers and water leaks, with the HPD unable to complete inspections in response to these issues. The building has also faced intermittent heating problems, with complaints about lack of heat and hot water in both 2022 and 2023, though these were reportedly resolved.

Other significant concerns have included a mold issue (2022), flooring problems (2022), and various appliance and maintenance matters. Recent inspections have revealed several fire safety violations, particularly regarding fire doors in the basement, where devices preventing self-closing were installed. The building's management has been compliant with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestation cases since at least 2019.

While the property has faced some Environmental Control Board violations related to parking structure and exterior wall reports (active since 2022), the most recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024 have passed. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of plumbing issues and heating system challenges, though many complaints are resolved promptly, often through tenant verification of repairs. The property has maintained its bedbug-free status through regular reporting and inspections, and recent rodent inspections have shown successful pest management.
