Augrented Insights Report for 1554 Ocean Avenue

1554 Ocean Avenue is a 73-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building built in 1926, currently owned by Eddie Ljesnjanin, located in the Midwood neighborhood of Brooklyn. The building has experienced several recurring issues in recent years, most notably concerning heat and hot water systems. Between December 2024 and March 2025, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems affecting either the entire building or individual apartments, with HPD involvement confirming these issues were eventually resolved, though not always through direct inspection.

More recently, in June 2025, there was a complaint regarding an appliance issue (refrigerator) that HPD was unable to inspect. The building has a history of maintenance and safety concerns, particularly noticeable in mid-2024 when violations were documented in Apartment C5 related to water leaks, ceiling conditions, and concerns about carbon monoxide and smoke detectors being missing. These violations, categorized as "Class B" under Housing Maintenance Code, represent non-immediate but significant safety concerns.

Earlier, in 2020, the building faced serious compliance issues regarding occupancy and conversion violations for Apartment A9, resulting in fines. However, there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2020, and rodent inspections from 2015 and 2018 passed successfully. The most recent violation is from June 2024 concerning the failure to submit an Energy Efficiency Report (EER) for 2023, which remains active. The building's common areas have also required attention, as evidenced by multiple complaints in 2024 regarding paint/plaster conditions and unsanitary conditions.
