2630 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11229

2630 Ocean Avenue is a 6-story, 48-unit Class A residential building constructed in 1940, currently owned by Mark Rubin. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues, particularly regarding essential services. Most recently, in March 2025, there was an emergency heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building, though services were reportedly restored before inspection.

In late 2024, multiple units reported problems including water leaks (in apartments D1 and B3), pest infestations (in apartments C6 and D6), and various maintenance issues such as peeling paint and unsanitary conditions. The building's elevator system has been a recurring problem, with eight separate service requests between March 2024 and October 2023, though inspections typically found no violations. The property has several active Department of Buildings violations related to its exterior condition, including cracked mortar joints and bulging brickwork on the 6th floor (noted in a December 2023 violation with a $2,500 penalty).

There are also ongoing concerns about the building's facade maintenance, with multiple violations regarding the failure to file required inspection reports. Rodent activity has been consistently documented in inspection reports from 2022 through 2024, though the presence of bedbugs appears to have decreased, with no reports of infestation in the most recent two years. The building has undergone various inspections and received multiple violations for pest control, water supply issues, and maintenance problems, with some violations remaining open as of 2023. These persistent maintenance challenges suggest ongoing infrastructural and service reliability concerns for residents, particularly regarding essential systems like heating, plumbing, and elevator service.
