2704 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11229
The 2704 Ocean Avenue building, constructed in 1934, is a 6-story, 42-unit residential building located in Sheepshead Bay and currently owned by Abe Markowitz. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in recent months, with three emergency complaints filed between October and November 2024, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. While heat and hot water were eventually restored in these instances, access for inspection purposes was not granted in one of the cases.
Prior to these issues, the building faced several significant maintenance challenges, including water leak problems in late 2023 resulting in violations, and multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions including mold, garbage storage, and pests in 2023-2024. Apartment A5 has documented violations related to mold, water leaks, and plaster/paint issues, with some violations remaining open as of the latest inspection. The building has a history of elevator service concerns, with multiple complaints between 2018 and 2022 regarding single device operation and no alternate service, though inspections generally found no violations or resulted in Oath Violations being served.
Environmental Control Board violations were recorded in 2018 and 2021 related to elevator safety and fire safety equipment, though these were resolved. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting, with zero infestations reported in the past several years, and rodent inspections in 2021-2022 showed mixed results, with some inspections noting rat activity while others passed. Recent inspections in 2024 have resulted in various violations being issued, including issues with window repairs, bedbug report compliance, and building entrance door conditions, though many violations have been certified as corrected through proper remediation actions.
