3739 Oceanic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11224

The two-family residential building at 3739 Oceanic Avenue in Sea Gate, owned by Ines Valdez Zamora, has experienced several significant issues over the past few years, particularly between 2019 and 2021. The property has been the subject of multiple complaints and investigations related to illegal conversions and unauthorized modifications. In 2019 and 2021, there were complaints regarding illegal conversions, with one case resulting in a vacate order that was fully rescinded in October 2021.

Multiple complaints were filed between December 2021 and January 2025 regarding a day care facility, all of which were investigated and closed by the NYC Health Department. The building's maintenance and safety record shows a concerning pattern of violations and unpermitted work. In 2020, two Environmental Control Board violations were issued against Wang's Group USA Developm for construction work without permits, including the installation of full-height partitions, bathroom fixtures, and utility lines in the cellar level.

These violations, along with an additional complaint regarding unauthorized dwelling unit occupancy, resulted in $5,000 in penalties, though records indicate these were subsequently resolved. The Department of Buildings also recorded a failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous violation in September 2020, which was dismissed in January 2021. A construction-related work permit was ultimately issued in October 2020, suggesting some level of compliance with building regulations.
