Augrented Insights Report for 1562 Ocean Avenue

At 1562 Ocean Avenue in Midwood, this 6-story, 76-unit New Law Tenement building built in 1926 has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years.

Most notably in 2025, there have been multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water systems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, along with water supply problems and unsanitary conditions related to pests - though inspectors frequently encountered access issues. The building has also documented three bedbug infestations between 2019-2023, all reported as eradicated, and rodent inspections in 2016 resulted in failure for "Other Reasons." In 2024-2025, serious concerns emerged including an active violation for failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, and multiple open Class C violations related to pest infestations affecting both common areas and specific apartments, particularly a significant issue in apartment 6H involving mold, water damage, and maintenance problems.

The elevator system has been a persistent concern, with multiple complaints recorded between 2020-2022 regarding service and safety features, and two environmental control board violations in 2020/2022 related to elevator door monitoring requirements. The building also faced various infrastructure challenges throughout 2020-2025, including multiple heat and hot water emergencies, electrical issues, and plumbing problems, with most recent complaints indicating potential ongoing maintenance challenges.
