1750 Ocean Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The 72-unit, 6-story residential building at 1750 Ocean Parkway, built in 1959 and currently owned by Aidin Ujka, has experienced multiple infrastructure and maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, in April 2025, there were emergency complaints regarding no heat or hot water in the entire building, water leaks, and unsanitary conditions including mold. Earlier in 2025, the building faced both rodent activity (with a rat inspection showing initial rat activity in May 2025, though passed in June 2025) and multiple maintenance concerns involving windows, plumbing, and building systems that HPD inspectors could not fully evaluate.

The building's systems have regularly shown signs of distress, including recurring heat and hot water issues, with the most recent complaint in April 2024 involving no heat in one apartment. The property has also faced significant external maintenance challenges, particularly regarding its facade. Between 2018 and 2020, multiple violations cited problems such as spalled bricks, cracked masonry, and inadequate AC unit support.

These facade issues led to several ECB violations and fines, specifically noting problems with mortar joints and brick deterioration across multiple exposures. More recently, an April 2024 ECB violation noted water damage in the lobby area, though most historical facade-related fines appear to have been resolved. The building's safety features have required attention as well, with violations found for missing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 7B during a November 2024 inspection. Despite these concerns, the building has maintained a -0- bedbug infestation record across multiple annual reports from 2020-2025, suggesting effective pest management in this area.
