1560 Ocean Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The 6-story, 59-unit building at 1560 Ocean Parkway in Midwood, owned by Newport Mgmt Llc 1560 Acct, has a notable history of maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating systems and moisture problems. Most recently, in March 2025, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building, though HPD inspections were unable to confirm the problem during their visits. A C-class violation was issued in December 2024 concerning a fire escape lock in apartment 6F, and there are several open housing maintenance code violations related to unit 4B from September 2024, including pest infestations and plumbing issues.

The building has experienced recurring heating system problems, with multiple HPD complaints and violations between 2024-2025, and has shown patterns of moisture-related issues including mold complaints in both 2024 and 2025. The property has faced challenges with inspection access, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints where inspectors were unable to complete their evaluations. The building's elevator system has required attention, with complaints in 2023 and 2021 regarding the single device and lack of alternate service, resulting in Oath Violations.

There are also several active violations on file with the Department of Buildings regarding failure to file required inspections and display energy efficiency information. The unit has been diligent in responding to bedbug and rodent issues, with no reported infestations in the past five years, and passed rodent inspections as recent as 2016. While the building has had various maintenance issues requiring attention, there have been no recent bedbug problems reported and the major systems (except heating) appear to be functioning without ongoing complaints.
