1468 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230
The 28-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 1468 Ocean Avenue in Midwood, owned by Yida Stern and constructed in 1924, has experienced a concerning pattern of maintenance issues and resident complaints over the past two years. Most recently, in May 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding plumbing (sink/basin issues), door frame problems, and wall conditions - though HPD inspections were unable to be completed in these cases. Earlier in 2025, the building faced challenges with pest control, including rodent sightings and unsanitary conditions, as well as safety concerns related to smoke detectors.
Between January and March 2025, there were several emergency complaints requiring attention, including heat/hot water issues and multiple plumbing-related problems. The building's inspection history shows persistent moisture and maintenance issues, particularly in Apartment A7, where violations from an August 2024 inspection noted water leaks, mold, and plaster/paint problems. The property has also undergone regular rodent control measures, with multiple bait applications recorded throughout late 2024 and into 2025, indicating ongoing pest management needs.
Despite these challenges, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, with the last documented case dating back to 2019-2020. The building's history shows some improvements, with certain violations from previous inspections being certified as resolved, though a notable open violation regarding a defective self-closing door in Apartment A7 from August 2024 remains active. The property has undergone multiple attempted inspections related to various complaints, particularly regarding water-related issues and safety systems, though access issues have sometimes hindered these evaluations. The Department of Buildings' records from 2023 and 2024 indicated attempted inspections for drainage and illegal conversion complaints, with inspectors unable to gain access on multiple occasions.
