Augrented Insights Report for 2157 Ocean Avenue

The 60-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 2157 Ocean Avenue in Sheepshead Bay, constructed in 1927 and currently owned by 2157 Realty Associates, LLC, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with emergency complaints filed in February 2025, December 2024, and multiple incidents in 2021-2022 showing a concerning pattern of building-wide service interruptions. The building underwent violations remediation in July 2024, primarily affecting apartment 6F, where several issues were identified and subsequently certified as corrected, including problems with plaster surfaces, window frames, and life safety systems (carbon monoxide detector and smoke detector). The elevator system has been a persistent area of attention, with multiple violations recorded between 2018-2021 regarding fire safety features and alternative service requirements, though these have all been resolved.

More recent building concerns include a 2025 heat/hot water complaint and an active Local Law 188/17 compliance inspection from June 2024. The building's maintenance record shows regular plumbing and water supply issues, with inspections in 2023 confirming some emergencies. While there were some issues with bedbugs reported in 2023-2024, the most recent filings indicate no current infestations.

The property has maintained compliance with rodent inspections, passing in 2015. Multiple construction-related permits have been issued since 2018, and there was a temporary construction equipment violation noted in 2024 regarding an expired sidewalk shed permit, though this was not immediately paid. The building's overall maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to basic services and infrastructure, with particular focus needed on the heat/hot water systems and elevator safety features.
