470 Ocean Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11218

470 Ocean Parkway is a 6-story, 72-unit residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Mervan Srdanovic, located in the Kensington neighborhood of Brooklyn. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns in 2025 including electrical wiring problems and slow water leaks affecting the ceiling.

There have been multiple instances of pest-related issues (2023-2025), and the building has faced several heating and hot water service interruptions, though these were reportedly resolved shortly after tenant complaints in 2022 and 2023. The property has a significant history of building system maintenance challenges, particularly relating to the elevator systems, with multiple violations and complaints recorded between 2018-2025, including an active elevator service complaint as of February 2025. The Department of Buildings records indicate several maintenance violations that have been addressed, including plumbing issues in Apartment 5F (2024) and various repairs required in Apartment 4D (2024), though HPD inspections were often unable to gain access to verify complaints.

Notable past violations include multiple instances in 2019 regarding failure to post required tenant protection plans and construction safety documents during occupancy, along with several elevator-related violations. The building has maintained a relatively good record regarding bedbug presence, with only one unit reported infested in the past six years, and appears to be undergoing active rodent control measures as evidenced by recent bait applications in 2025. The property management has received both B-class and C-class violations, with most being promptly addressed and certified as resolved.
