Augrented Insights Report for 1640 Ocean Avenue

1640 Ocean Avenue is a 98-unit, 3-story Class A apartment building constructed in 1929, currently owned by Chaim Babad and located in the Midwood neighborhood. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints between February and May of that year, though several of these complaints were duplicates and many resulted in HPD being unable to gain necessary access for inspection. Violations were issued for some heat-related issues, and new complaints continued to emerge despite temporary resolutions.

The building's most recent maintenance history shows several concerning issues, including electrical problems (outages and faulty outlets), pest infestations (including mold and sanitation concerns) in mid-2025, and the presence of various housing code violations as of late 2024, particularly affecting apartment 2P. These violations included defective safety systems (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), bathroom repairs needed, and multiple issues in public areas including hallway conditions. The elevator system has been a focus of regulatory scrutiny, with multiple Environmental Control Board violations documented between 2018-2021, including problems with hoistway doors, unguarded cab lighting, and maintenance issues, with active penalties currently due.

Historical pest control records show no recent evidence of bedbug infestations (2023-2024 periods), though there have been documented rodent issues in the building's past, with inspections in 2015 and 2019 revealing rat activity, while more recent inspections in 2018-2019 passed. The building has undergone various inspections and corrections of violations, with most being resolved by late 2024, but one significant violation remains open from April 2024 regarding self-closing doors in the fifth-floor compactor closet area. A tenant safety inspection from 2022 found no violations, but this was conducted at a time when many mechanical and infrastructure issues were still developing.
