2421 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11229
2421 Ocean Avenue is a 7-story, 12-unit residential building constructed in 2004 and currently owned by Margaret Genao. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding elevator service and plumbing systems. Most recently, in 2025, there was an active complaint about plumbing defects or leaks, following multiple similar complaints in 2024 (November and June) that resulted in inspections showing no violations.
The elevator system has been a persistent concern, with at least three separate elevator-related complaints between 2020 and 2022, and violations regarding safety features such as door lock monitoring. The building also has multiple active violations related to mandatory safety inspections, including failure to file External Low-Pressure Inspection reports for 2020-2023 and the Cycle 9A Technical Report of Critical Examination of Exterior Wall that was due in 2022. The property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, with the most recent report from January 2025 showing no infested or re-infested units during the 2023-2024 reporting period.
Past maintenance issues were primarily concentrated in apartment 6A, with multiple violations in 2006 regarding door and flooring repairs, though these violations are now many years old. There are also some active ECB violations from 2022 and 2024 regarding parking structure inspection reports and unauthorized plumbing work in the ground floor commercial space. While some historical violations have been resolved, the ongoing nature of certain safety inspection requirement violations suggests continued attention is needed in this area.
