2068 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230

2068 Ocean Avenue is an 8-story, 18-unit residential building constructed in 2015 in the Midwood neighborhood, currently owned by Anna Maximovich. The building has experienced several notable issues over its operating history, with the most significant recent concerns being repeated smoking violations documented by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) from 2020 through 2023.

In 2019, multiple complaints were filed regarding indoor air quality, including concerns about chemical vapors/odors and ventilation problems, particularly in June of that year. The building underwent some administrative scrutiny regarding bedbug reporting, with violations noted in 2021, 2022, and 2023 for failing to file annual bedbug reports, though recent filings for 2023-2025 indicate no infestation history. There were also some mechanical and operational issues noted in 2020, including complaints about elevator service that summer, though inspections did not warrant any violation findings.

The building has faced multiple violations for failure to file required benchmarking reports between 2018 and 2022, though all were ultimately dismissed following successful challenges. A construction-related complaint was logged in August 2020 regarding work beyond approved plans/permits, and the building was required to address FISP Cycle 9A reporting requirements in February 2022. However, all these issues appear to have been resolved, with the most recent bedbug reports showing zero infested or re-infested units and no new major complaints or violations reported since mid-2023.
