2270 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11229

At 2270 Ocean Avenue in Sheepshead Bay, a 53-unit 6-story building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Daniel Rosenthal, several significant recent issues merit attention. Most notably, there have been recurring heating and hot water problems across the entire building, with emergency complaints logged in March, November, and October 2025, though inspections generally noted restoration of service. Recent rodent-related concerns were documented in May 2025, though a subsequent inspection passed.

The building has experienced persistent elevator maintenance issues, with multiple complaints between 2020-2025, though most inspections found no violations. A cluster of violations was recorded in late 2024 concerning compactor closet doors on the 5th and 6th stories, while earlier issues in apartment 5D (2022) documented problems including plaster repairs and mold conditions, which were subsequently addressed. The building has a pattern of sanitation-related complaints, particularly regarding garbage and recycling storage, with multiple incidents recorded throughout 2024-2025 that generally resulted in no violations found upon inspection.

Elevator maintenance appears to be a recurring challenge, with numerous complaints between 2020-2025, including some that resulted in Oath Violations. The property has experienced periodic bedbug infestations, with four units affected in 2022, though subsequent reports in 2023 and 2024 showed significantly reduced or no infestation. Notable infrastructure concerns include a 2024 violation regarding exterior cracks near the ground level and in certain apartments, though this was dismissed as issued in error. The building's management has generally responded to violations, with most being resolved or closed, including those relating to fire escape components and various infrastructure maintenance issues.
