1362 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The 48-unit, 4-story tenement building at 1362 Ocean Avenue in Midwood, owned by Eddie Ljesnjanin, has experienced persistent maintenance issues over the past year. Most recently, in May 2025, the building faced unsanitary conditions involving mold that warranted HPD violations. The building has undergone multiple heat and hot water supply complaints in 2025, with reports of insufficient service in both individual apartments and building-wide systems.

Between April and June 2025, there were recurring issues with mold, electrical wiring concerns, floor conditions, and plumbing problems including toilet and bathtub/shower issues. The building's maintenance history shows significant problems with water supply, as evidenced by three separate emergency complaints in June 2025, in addition to earlier plumbing and water-related issues. The property has demonstrated ongoing challenges with basic services, including multiple emergency complaints about heat and hot water, electrical power outages, and various plumbing problems throughout 2025.

There have also been recurring issues with unsanitary conditions, including mold and pest infestations, as indicated by multiple complaint filings. Notably, in 2024 the building received violations related to safety equipment, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 3J, and there were significant maintenance deficiencies documented in various units, particularly 4A and 4C. While some violations from late 2024 were marked as closed, including bathroom mold issues and defects in kitchen electrical wiring, the building's historical data from 2019 through 2025 shows a pattern of recurring maintenance challenges, including multiple bedbug incidents and the need for rodent control measures, with the most recent compliance inspections passing in early 2025.
