Augrented Insights Report for 555 Ovington Avenue

The 94-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 555 Ovington Avenue in Bay Ridge, owned by Johnson Morales, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues since 2025. Most recently, in late 2024, there were complaints regarding flooring and appliance issues, which were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) but resulted in no violations.

Between 2021-2022, the building faced significant water-related problems, with multiple complaints about slow leaks, heavy flow, and damp spots - particularly affecting Apartment 44B, which also experienced various other maintenance issues including problems with plaster surfaces, ceiling leaks, and door-related violations. The building has an active bed bug infestation record, with the most recent report from December 2024 indicating one infested unit (now eradicated). From an energy compliance perspective, 555 Ovington Avenue has ongoing violations related to energy efficiency score display requirements, with violations issued in 2019, 2021, 2022, and most recently in 2024.

There was also a construction safety incident in July 2019 that resulted in a Stop Work Order being issued and subsequently rescinded. The building's management has demonstrated some responsiveness to issues, as evidenced by the closure of various violations and complaints, though the repeated nature of certain problems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene is currently reviewing a rodent complaint from March 2021 that remains listed as in progress.
