2200 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11229

2200 Ocean Avenue is a 6-story, 106-unit residential building constructed in 1952 located in Sheepshead Bay and owned by Marc Abram. The building's most pressing recurring issue has been inconsistent heating and hot water availability, with eight documented emergencies between early 2022 and 2025, including two incidents in March and February 2025. While these complaints were generally resolved promptly, with heat and hot water restored according to tenant reports, the frequency of these outages suggests an ongoing maintenance challenge. The building experienced an unsanitary pigeon waste issue in November 2024, though inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations.

In 2023, there was a drinking water-related complaint that was investigated and cleared without any health code violations. The building has undergone several inspections and repairs in recent years, with particular attention needed to fire escape access and bulkhead door conditions. In late 2022, multiple violations were recorded regarding a defective south bulkhead door, including broken parts and illegal locks, though these violations were subsequently closed. There were also violations noted regarding a bathroom in Apartment 2L requiring plaster and paint repairs, and issues with refuse accumulation in the south yard.

As of 2024, the building's bedbug reporting shows zero infestations across the past three reporting periods, indicating successful management of this potential pest issue. A parking structure violation was issued in October 2024 regarding the failure to submit required inspection reports, with a penalty of $2,500. However, records show no violations during inspections of the building for work without permits, COVID-19 compliance, or other major categories in recent years, suggesting generally good compliance with regulatory requirements. The most recent rodent inspection in December 2024 resulted in a passing grade, indicating no active rodent issues.
