1450 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230
The four-unit, two-story building at 1450 Ocean Avenue in Midwood, owned by Moshe Finkelstein, has experienced several significant events affecting its current condition and safety. Most notably, a fire in June 2025 has caused substantial damage, leaving the roof open to the elements and compromising the roof assembly.
The incident triggered multiple active violations, including one requiring sealing of all openings, and raised concerns about unauthorized modifications such as altered upstairs layout and new gas/plumbing installations in the basement for kitchens. The building has also been under structural monitoring as of June 2025, with complaints about building shaking and a full vacate order reportedly served on June 7, 2025.
Prior to these recent events, the building's history includes consistent issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with an active violation recorded as recently as April 2024, though previous bedbug reports (covering the period from 2021-2022) indicated no infested units. The property has shown some rodent-related concerns in 2015, with one inspection resulting in failure for unspecified reasons, though a subsequent inspection that same year passed. These recent fire-related violations represent the most serious and immediate concerns regarding the building's current condition and safety.
