2131 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11229

2131 Ocean Avenue is an 8-story, 16-unit Class A condominium building located in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, and was constructed in 2009. The building has experienced several recurring issues over the past few years, with the most significant being concerns related to elevator safety and maintenance. In 2023, there were multiple elevator-related complaints, including one that resulted in an Environmental Control Board violation on August 29, 2023, concerning required signage and equipment maintenance, for which a penalty of $1,562 was imposed.

The building has also faced consistent challenges with energy benchmarking compliance, with multiple active violations noted between 2019 and 2025 for failure to file required energy use reports, and failure to display energy efficiency scores. Recent inspection records show that from 2021 to 2023, the building received three Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding the annual bedbug reporting requirements, though the most recent filings from 2024 and 2025 indicate no reported infestations during the respective filing periods. The property has been the subject of various construction-related complaints, including unauthorized work and modifications, with several resulting in Oath Violations.

Despite these enforcement actions, many complaints were closed without finding violations, suggesting some access issues during inspections. The building's management has made efforts to address these violations, as evidenced by the resolution of several ECB violations. The most recent bedbug report submission in June 2025 indicates zero infested or eradicated units for the current reporting period, though there have been irregularities with annual bedbug report compliance in previous years.
