1290 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230
1290 Ocean Avenue is a 6-story, 60-unit residential building built in 1928, currently owned by Yida Greenzweig. The building has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues, particularly with plumbing and water damage. Most recently, in April 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding toilet problems, mold, wall issues, and flooring concerns, all of which HPD was unable to inspect despite these being labeled as emergency situations.
Between 2024 and 2025, there have been significant rodent control efforts, with multiple inspections showing rat activity and bait application. The building's elevator has been a particular area of focus, with numerous complaints documented between 2020 and 2025 regarding single device operation and lack of alternate service, most recently resulting in an Oath Violation in April 2025. The building has several active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations related to elevator safety and building maintenance, including issues with door monitoring systems and exterior wall conditions.
Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024 show ongoing problems with water temperature control and pest infestation in specific units, though these are listed as having been certified for correction. The property's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance practices, particularly regarding timely response to plumbing and sanitation issues, as evidenced by the most recent series of complaints in 2025 where inspections could not be completed. The building has maintained a consistent record of being free from bedbug infestations over the past five years, according to the mandatory reporting requirements.
