1360 Ocean Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11230

1360 Ocean Parkway, a 14-story residential building in Midwood built in 1964 and containing 176 units, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints registered through 311 and the Housing Maintenance Code, all relating to the entire building. Between February and May 2025, there were at least ten documented instances of heat/hot water complaints, with some inspections being unable to gain access to units for verification, though in some cases the problems were confirmed to have been resolved or did not violate housing codes upon inspection.

The building's mechanical systems and maintenance infrastructure appear to be a continuing concern, as evidenced by two Class C violations from December 2024 regarding inadequate heat and hot water supply in both the 11M and 15E apartments. Additional infrastructure and safety compliance issues were noted in September 2024, including multiple violations concerning security systems, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, plumbing fixtures, and electrical safety devices. Looking at the building's broader history, there have been several environmental control board violations related to unauthorized work, including a significant $6,250 penalty in 2020 for unpermitted electrical work in apartment 3H.

The property has experienced regular issues with compliance reporting requirements, as shown by penalties and violations for failing to submit required FISP (Facades Inspection Safety Program) reports in 2018 and 2023, though these violations were ultimately dismissed. While the building's bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 show no infestation cases, maintaining proper heat and water systems has been an ongoing challenge for management. Recent 311 complaints suggest these problems continue to affect resident quality of life, with multiple complaints recorded even in 2025, though some were resolved promptly according to HPD inspections.
