2045 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230

2045 Ocean Avenue is an 8-story, 50-unit residential building located in Midwood, completed in 2022 and owned by Joseph Banda. The building's construction phase experienced multiple compliance issues in late 2021 and August 2022, including concerns about construction safety and a stop work order, though these violations were eventually rescinded. A boiler inspection violation from 2019 was dismissed in early 2023.

Since occupancy began, the building has encountered several maintenance issues documented through 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code Complaints. Most notably, there was a slow water leak issue in late 2023 that persisted until mid-2024, and various electrical problems in late 2023 including lighting and outlet/switch issues, with the lighting problem classified as emergency. A plumbing complaint regarding a toilet issue was filed in late 2024 and closed in 2025.

Health department inspections in 2024 found no violations related to rodent activity, and there was also a smoking violation addressed during the same period. The building's management has demonstrated responsiveness to these issues, with most complaints being properly addressed and closed, though some inspections required to verify conditions could not be completed due to access issues. Notably, the building has maintained an impressive record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the most recent four filing periods (covering 2021 through 2024).
