2493 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11229

The six-story, six-unit residential building at 2493 Ocean Avenue in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Artyom Gusarevich, was completed in 2015 and has experienced several notable incidents regarding building maintenance and safety compliance in recent years. Most significantly, in mid-2024, there were safety concerns related to smoke detector inspections, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) unable to gain necessary access for inspection, resulting in an unresolved safety complaint.

The building has also faced challenges with door safety features, as evidenced by a July 2024 violation regarding defective or missing hinges on self-closing doors in the first-story public hall, though this violation was subsequently certified as closed in July 2024. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting compliance, with all recent filings (2021-2024) indicating zero infested units, suggesting effective pest management practices.

The building had two Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2024, with one remaining open as of the last inspection related to the improper display of inspection certificates near mailboxes, though this is classified as a lower-tier violation. Throughout its history, the building has established a pattern of timely bedbug reporting, with annual filings consistently showing no infestation cases, including the most recent filing submitted in December 2024 for the period ending October 2024. While the building has experienced some maintenance and safety issues, particularly regarding smoke detectors and door hardware, it has generally demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and maintains a relatively new construction status compared to older buildings in the area.
