Augrented Insights Report for 540 Ocean Parkway

540 Ocean Parkway, a 6-story, 114-unit residential building constructed in 1962, is currently experiencing consistent heating system challenges, with multiple heat and hot water complaints recorded between November 2024 and February 2025, three of which were marked as emergencies. The building has a documented history of plumbing issues, including radiator problems in 2023 and previous sewage concerns in 2022, though most recent HPD inspections have shown no violations.

The elevator system appears to be a recurring concern, with the most recent complaint in June 2025 regarding the single device operation and previous violations related to elevator maintenance and safety devices, including a disabled door zone restrictor in 2018. The building's maintenance history shows several substantial quality of life issues, particularly in apartment 2M during 2022, where multiple violations were recorded for bathroom fixtures, including a defective bathtub, leaky faucets, and various plumbing problems. External maintenance issues have also been noted, including concerns about flower pot safety on balconies in 2020.

While the building has had bedbug and rodent inspections performed in recent years, the most recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 indicate no current infestations, though there were previous incidents in 2019. The property has two open Housing Maintenance Code violations related to failure to file external low-pressure inspection reports from 2019 and 2022, with penalties associated with these violations. The building's management has generally responded to HPD complaints, though access issues have occasionally prevented complete inspections, and some complaints were closed due to conditions having been resolved by the time of inspection.
