2222 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11229

2222 Ocean Avenue is an 8-story, 49-unit residential building constructed in 2018 in Sheepshead Bay, currently owned by Alberto Benamu. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly concentrated between April and May 2025, with multiple complaints filed through 311 and HPD, though inspections often revealed that service had been restored prior to access being granted. These ongoing heating system challenges appear to be the most pressing current concern for residents.

The building also has some notable ventilation system issues, with a non-emergency complaint recorded in April 2025 regarding access issues for inspection. The building has been subject to several open Housing Maintenance Code violations as of June 2024, including requirements for proper safety signage and maintenance of building systems, such as the need to post gas leak procedures, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and repair defects in public areas. There are also specific maintenance issues documented in apartment 3B regarding water leaks and plaster defects.

Environmental Control Board violations from October 2024 indicate failure to submit required parking structure reports, with an associated penalty of $2,530. The building's history includes multiple instances of failure to file required energy benchmarking reports between 2019-2020, though these violations were ultimately dismissed. Construction-related complaints from 2018 regarding work beyond approved plans were resolved with stop-work orders, and a thorough permit record shows various improvement works being properly documented and issued during the building's construction and initial occupancy period. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug cases in the building since records began, with the last inspection period showing zero infested units.
