1420 Ocean Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11230
The 60-unit, 6-story building at 1420 Ocean Parkway in Midwood, owned by Adam Parkoff and constructed in 1941, has experienced a series of concerning maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, in May 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, along with several other unaddressed issues including a broken window guard, plumbing problems (bathtub/shower and toilet), slow water leak, door problems, wall issues, and an appliance malfunction (refrigerator). HPD inspections were often unable to gain access to units for verification.
The building has a history of elevator problems, with active complaints regarding compliance inspections under Local Law 188/17 and multiple citations for violations including a tampered door zone restrictor in October 2023 and failure to conduct Category 5 inspections in 2021. In 2024, violations were found in apartment BB regarding carbon monoxide detectors, vermin infestation, visible mold, peeling paint, and fire safety concerns, which were certified as corrected by December 30, 2024. The building's maintenance history shows ongoing challenges with basic services, particularly heat and hot water. There were two incidents of heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building in January 2025 and April 2025, and multiple heat-related complaints throughout these months.
The elevator system has been a recurring source of problems, with three citations for "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" between 2019 and 2024. Recent environmental inspections in 2024 revealed an unaddressed Category 5 inspection requirement and improper energy efficiency score display. While there have been isolated instances of bedbugs in 2019 and 2021, recent reports (2022-2024) show no infestations. The building has maintained passing rodent inspection results in 2012, 2015, and 2018, indicating generally effective pest control measures.
