581 Ocean Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11218

581 Ocean Parkway, an 8-story, 60-unit Class A residential building located in Kensington, was constructed in 2016 and is currently owned by Solomon Schwimmer. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over its history, with the most concerning being recurring heat and hot water problems. Notably, there were significant heating system outages reported in January 2023 and February 2019, affecting both the entire building and individual units.

Other maintenance concerns have included a mold incident (November 2022), which was categorized as an emergency, and issues with paint/plaster (June 2024), though none of these complaints resulted in formal violations. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero cases reported in all annual filings from 2018 through 2024. Most recently, two Class A violations were issued in August 2024 regarding improper signage: one for failing to post the building's registration number and another related to gas leak safety procedures.

Additionally, there was a $2,500 penalty imposed in October 2024 for failing to submit a required parking structure report, though this was subsequently resolved. The building's management has generally addressed complaints promptly, with inspections confirming correction of reported issues in most cases. It's worth noting that while the building has had various maintenance issues, there have been no recent patterns of widespread problems or persistent violations that would indicate systemic maintenance issues.
