1544 Ocean Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11230

1544 Ocean Parkway is a 7-story, 47-unit residential building located in Midwood, completed in 2018 and currently owned by David Hollander. The building is relatively new, but has experienced several notable incidents regarding habitability and safety. In 2023, there was a rodent complaint that prompted a Department of Health inspection, which found no violations.

A 2021 complaint regarding heat and hot water issues throughout the entire building was resolved with the restoration of services being confirmed by tenants. Prior to these issues, during the construction phase in 2019-2020, there were multiple safety concerns recorded by the Department of Buildings, including three separate complaints regarding site conditions endangering workers, inadequate fencing, and construction safety compliance violations, though all these were subsequently closed. The building's construction phase also generated several Environmental Control Board violations, primarily relating to safety and compliance issues including problems with pedestrian protection, jobsite fencing, and unsafe exposed structural elements, though penalties were generally resolved.

The building's permit history shows consistent activity throughout 2019-2020, with multiple permits being issued for various work types including new building (NB), excavation (EQ), and plumbing (PL) work. The most recent significant issue pertains to a parking structure observation report violation issued in October 2024, for which a $2,500 penalty was imposed and remains due as of the current date. This violation is particularly noteworthy as it relates to the building's parking structure conditions. While the building has passed recent inspections, including rodent inspections in 2023 and 2017, the pattern of construction-related violations during its initial phase and the most recent parking structure violation suggests ongoing compliance monitoring is necessary.
