Augrented Insights Report for 1620 Ocean Avenue

Located at 1620 Ocean Avenue in Midwood, this 101-unit, 6-story Class A building constructed in 1929 has experienced significant maintenance challenges, particularly regarding its heating and hot water systems. Between December 2024 and April 2025, there were eight documented complaints about lack of heat or hot water affecting the entire building, with violations issued in December 2024 concerning inadequate hot water supply in apartment 6K.

Other recent issues include a water leak complaint in February 2025, and a door-related complaint in April 2025, though HPD's inspections found no violations in these cases. The property has also faced persistent elevator maintenance problems, with active ECB violations from 2021 regarding door close speed, counterweight shoes, and safety signage, carrying penalties of $625 each.

There is an ongoing concern about compliance with external low-pressure inspection filings, with violations issued in April and June 2023 that remain active as of the latest data. The building's 6K apartment showed multiple code violations in late 2024, including lack of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, pest infestations (mice and roaches), and various repairs needed to address water damage and plaster issues, though these were certified as corrected by December 2024. Despite these challenges, recent bedbug and rodent inspection reports from 2024 showed no infestations, though rodent inspections prior to 2014 showed a mix of compliance and failure results.
