Augrented Insights Report for 1996 Ocean Avenue

The six-story, 43-unit building located at 1996 Ocean Avenue in Midwood, owned by Rochelle Deutsch, has experienced several notable maintenance and service issues since 2018. Most recently, in July 2025, there were two pest-related complaints, and in October 2024, there was a water supply issue that required immediate emergency attention.

The building faced significant heat and hot water system challenges in October 2022, when both apartment-specific and building-wide complaints were made, though inspections did not find violations. Safety concerns were raised in September 2022 regarding broken window guards, and various unsanitary conditions related to pests were reported between 2020-2021, with most inspections encountering access issues that prevented verification of the problems. The building has a history of infrastructure and safety compliance challenges, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2020, including issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and evidence of rodent infestation in a specific unit (1F).

Additional violations were documented regarding water leaks in unit 4B and various maintenance issues in unit 5B. While recent bedbug reports from 2022 through 2024 show zero infested units, there have been concerns about overall pest management, with rodent inspections in 2018-2019 showing mixed results between compliance and failure for other reasons. The building has three active Department of Buildings violations as of 2024, including a failure to file required energy benchmarking reports.
