This building has 162 recorded HPD violations, above the Midwood average of 34.8.
The 6-story residential building at 1562 Ocean Avenue in Midwood, owned by Lami Realty, has experienced significant ongoing maintenance and safety issues since at least 2020. The oldest recorded issues relate to the elevator system, with multiple complaints between 2020-2022 about single device operation and lack of alternate service, though these were subsequently closed. Recent violations from 2026 are particularly concerning, with three active ECB violations including serious safety hazards such as a lack of required automatic sprinklers in the basement dryer area ($2,500 penalty), improper gas piping installation ($1,250 penalty), and work completed without necessary permits regarding the meter banks and laundry room ($2,500 penalty). Between August and September 2026, there were multiple emergency housing complaints regarding cooking gas issues, along with violations related to missing safety devices in Apartment 3N, specifically a carbon monoxide detector and smoke detecting device. The building's maintenance history also shows a pattern of boiler-related violations, with active DOB violations from 2023-2025 regarding failure to file low-pressure inspection reports, though a previous violation from 2021 was dismissed.

What's in the 1562 Ocean Avenue report
Is 1562 Ocean Avenue rent-stabilized?
Rent stabilization caps how much your rent can rise and protects your right to renew. Here's how this building scores on the four signals that usually point to it.
Based on public NYC records. Not legal advice — verify with the DHCR (Division of Housing and Community Renewal) at apps.hcr.ny.gov.
Is 1562 Ocean Avenue covered by Good Cause Eviction?
New York's Good Cause Eviction law (effective April 20, 2024) gives many market-rate tenants the right to renew their lease and challenge rent hikes above the annual local rent standard. It doesn't apply to every building.
Good Cause also excludes condos & co-ops, subsidized/regulated housing, and units renting above 245% of Fair Market Rent — signals we can't always confirm from public data. Not legal advice. Learn more at nyc.gov or call 311 for the Tenant Helpline.
How 1562 Ocean Avenue's risk score is calculated
