Augrented Insights Report for 525 Ocean Parkway

525 Ocean Parkway is a 6-story, 62-unit residential building constructed in 1963, located in the Kensington neighborhood and currently owned by Sofia Waksman. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being a mold problem (2023-2024), unsanitary conditions including pests (2024), and multiple violations related to safety equipment such as smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors (most notably in apartments 4F and 1A).

The building's condition has been further complicated by plumbing issues, including bathtub/shower problems and water leaks. A significant inspection in September 2024 revealed violations related to self-closing doors, particularly affecting fire doors and trash chutes on the 2nd story. The building has undergone various construction-related activities, with multiple permits issued between 2019-2020, though there were some disruptions in 2020 due to the death of the contractor of record, which temporarily halted work.

While there were several bedbug infestations reported between 2018-2020, the most recent three annual reports (2021-2024) show no infestations. The property also faces certain administrative issues, including an active violation for failure to submit required facade inspection reports (FISP Cycle 9B) as of 2023. Historical data from the Department of Buildings shows a pattern of ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding facade and safety systems, with various emergency and non-emergency violations being documented and subsequently closed over the past few years.
