Augrented Insights Report for 996 Ocean Parkway

996 Ocean Parkway is a 6-story residential building in Midwood, built in 1964 and containing 119 units, currently owned by Steven Cohen. The building has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with particular attention needed on elevator services and heat/hot water systems. Most notably, in April 2025, there were multiple heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, with residents reporting intermittent service restoration.

The building has a recurring history of pest issues, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions and pests filed between 2025-2024, and significant bedbug activity reported between 2019-2024, with the most recent filings indicating January 2024 infestations. The elevator system has been a persistent concern, with multiple active complaints as of 2025 regarding single device service and alternate service issues, along with several past violations including a 2024 Class 1 violation for being inoperative affecting numerous tenants including those with special needs. Recent inspections and violations reveal ongoing maintenance challenges, including issues with fire door self-closing mechanisms, lighting in public areas, and water temperature control systems.

The building has shown patterns of moisture-related problems, with multiple complaints about mold and water-related issues between 2024-2025. The elevator maintenance and safety concerns are particularly notable, with several active and past violations regarding brake monitors, hoist ropes, and other critical components. The property has experienced recurring rodent activity, as indicated by failed inspections in early 2025, and multiple bait application records from 2018-2020 suggest ongoing pest management efforts are required. Infrastructure and safety systems appear to require attention, as evidenced by the presence of multiple open and inactive violations with varying classifications from Class A (immediate emergency) to Class C (less severe), ranging from elevator systems to building security features.
