441 Ocean Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11218

At 441 Ocean Parkway, a 6-story, 42-unit building constructed in 1936 and currently owned by Brenda Geller, several significant maintenance issues have been documented over the past several years. Most recently, in November 2023, there was a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building, though reports indicate these essential services were restored shortly thereafter. The building has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints.

Other notable maintenance concerns include a water leak complaint from October 2021, and a series of violations related to building safety and maintenance between 2019-2024. These violations involved requirements to repair or replace self-closing doors (at building entrances and compactor closet), maintain window guards, and address various building maintenance issues such as fire retardant materials and ceiling conditions in public areas. The property has also faced regulatory scrutiny, including a 2019 investigation into possible illegal conversion, though access was denied during inspection.

While there were boiler inspection compliance issues in 2019, records show these were ultimately dismissed with penalties paid. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2019 to 2025 shows consistent compliance with zero reported infestations in any of the reporting periods, and a rodent inspection in November 2019 resulted in a passing grade, indicating no significant pest management concerns. The most recent building inspection in 2024 noted a violation regarding annual bedbug report filing requirements, though this appears to be a procedural issue rather than a health or safety concern.
