315 Ovington Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

315 Ovington Avenue is a six-story, 102-unit residential building constructed in 1962 located in Bay Ridge, currently owned by Martin Ho. The building has experienced significant maintenance issues over the past two years, with particular concern regarding indoor air quality in early 2025, where multiple reports between February 5-12 documented chemical vapors, gases, and odors. In 2024, serious violations were documented in apartment 6K, including reports of roach infestation and a leaky kitchen sink, along with various building system issues including a defective ventilation system, problematic self-closing doors, and multiple plumbing violations.

The building has a history of elevator-related issues, with complaints in 2022 leading to ECB violations regarding misaligned blind spot mirrors and non-elevator equipment in the motor room, resulting in fines. The property has shown some pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly with appliances, as evidenced by multiple complaints about refrigerators in 2023, though these issues were generally resolved. There were also violations related to mold and unsanitary conditions reported in August 2023, with the HPD issuing citations.

The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections since 2017, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2019-2024). While historical complaints include concerns about locked egress, building vibrations, and unauthorized commercial use, most of these issues have been resolved. The property's documented history suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance, particularly in recent years, though there have been no documented bedbug or rodent issues in recent inspections, indicating some aspects of maintenance are being successfully managed.
