2065 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The 48-unit, 6-story building at 2065 Ocean Avenue in Midwood, built in 1941 and currently owned by Isreal Gluck, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning are recurring heating system problems, with three heat/hot water complaints in 2024-2025, including an open emergency complaint from November 2024. The building has also faced multiple water-related issues, with heavy flow water leak complaints in both August 2023 and June 2023, and unsanitary conditions including pest infestations in August 2023 that required HPD inspection.

Safety system maintenance has been another area of concern, with violations issues in December 2023 regarding defective smoke detectors and carbon monoxide devices in apartment C4, though these were certified as corrected later that month. The building has a documented history of elevator service interruptions, with three separate complaints about single device operation and lack of alternate service between 2019 and 2022, all resulting in Oath Violations. Recent inspections have revealed various maintenance needs, including multiple violations in 2023 related to compactor closet doors, window repairs, and building safety systems.

The property has shown some challenges with pest management, though recent bedbug reports from 2024 indicate no new infestations during the latest reporting period. Additionally, there have been recurring issues with energy benchmarking report filings, with active violations noted as recently as May 2023. While many past violations have been resolved, the current status of the heating system issues suggests continuing maintenance challenges at the property.
