Augrented Insights Report for 2540 Ocean Avenue

2540 Ocean Avenue is a 4-story, 38-unit New Law Tenement building located in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, and owned by Santa Marletta. The building, constructed in 1926, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, as evidenced by multiple complaints in 2024-2025, including an urgent complaint in June 2025 that was resolved when heat and hot water were restored. The property has also faced significant maintenance challenges, with open violations in Apartment 2D as of March 2024 regarding rodent infestations (mice and roaches), visible mold, and other maintenance issues.

The building experienced a water leak problem in 2024-2025, with multiple complaints about heavy flow and slow leaks, including an emergency complaint in February 2025. Historical data reveals persistent maintenance and compliance issues, including an active Environmental Control Board violation from 2021 regarding water leakage affecting walls and ceilings, as well as multiple violations from 2018-2019 related to failure to maintain building code compliance. The building underwent several inspections showing varying compliance with rodent control measures, with inspections in 2021 and 2022 passing, while historical bedbug reports indicate sporadic infestations, with the most recent reports (2022-2024) showing no current infestations.

Recent inspections and complaints suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and infrastructure systems, particularly regarding heating systems, water plumbing, and general building upkeep. The property has faced scrutiny over its maintenance practices, with various Housing Maintenance Code violations and complaints regarding building conditions. While some issues have been resolved through inspections and repairs, including problems with public hallway conditions and individual apartment maintenance issues, the building continues to experience periodic infrastructure challenges, particularly concerning essential services like heating and water.
