Augrented Insights Report for 2234 Ocean Avenue

2234 Ocean Avenue is a 6-story, 72-unit New Law Tenement building in Sheepshead Bay, constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Michael Zlotnik. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water in 2025, affecting both the entire building and individual apartments. Recent inspections in spring 2025 revealed several violations related to building maintenance and safety, including problems with door and window security, intercom systems, and missing or broken window guards.

The building's elevator system has been a persisting concern, with multiple complaints about devices and safety features dating back to 2019, including recent issues noted in 2024 with emergency phones and controller fuses. More serious safety concerns emerged in 2024, with active ECB violations related to obstructed exit passageways and failure to provide adequate safety measures for an unsafe building facade, resulting in significant fines. The building has a history of interior maintenance issues, including open violations from 2021 regarding bathroom floor repairs and cabinet conditions in apartment F2.

However, the building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years, and it successfully passed rodent inspections in 2019 and 2020. The property has experienced some regulatory compliance issues, including failure to file required benchmarking reports and recently reported swarm conditions as of 2024. While many past violations have been resolved, several recent issues remain open, particularly concerning building safety and elevator maintenance.
