Augrented Insights Report for 1438 Ocean Avenue

1438 Ocean Avenue is a 4-story, 50-unit residential building constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Pankaj Prasad. The property has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most significant problems occurring in 2024-2025. Multiple self-closing door violations were documented in December 2024, affecting various floors (1B, 2I, 3E, 3K, 4A, and 4I) and common areas, though these violations were subsequently closed in January 2025.

The building has also faced several health and safety challenges in 2025, including complaints about the fire escape, door issues, and unsanitary conditions, though inspections by HPD found these conditions did not violate housing laws. A concerning pattern of maintenance issues emerged in 2024-2025, with complaints about mold, pests, plumbing problems, and indoor air quality concerns between April and June 2025. The building's recent history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, with various health and safety complaints being reported and investigated.

Two Environmental Control Board violations from 2023-2024 highlighted issues with unauthorized work and building maintenance deficiencies, resulting in a $2,500 penalty for work without a permit. The property has experienced recurring bedbug infestations, with two affected units reported in 2022-2023 and three in 2023-2024, though all were subsequently eradicated. Rodent inspections reveal inconsistent results, with one failed inspection in February 2024 for "Other Reasons" and subsequent passes. The building has also faced challenges with access for inspectors in multiple instances, particularly during Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections in January 2025 and a debris-related inspection in September 2024.
