2718 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11229
The six-story, 42-unit building at 2718 Ocean Avenue in Sheepshead Bay, built in 1938 and currently owned by Marc Abrams, has experienced numerous maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, in late 2024, there were multiple housing code complaints involving unsanitary conditions (including garbage storage and pest issues), problems with stairs, and mailbox concerns. Violation notices were issued for the mailbox issue, which required the property owner to undertake corrections.
Earlier in 2024, there were several other maintenance problems, including door issues (both in April and September), mold, and paint/plaster problems. The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with complaints documented in both 2020 and 2023 regarding the single device's alternate service capabilities, though no violations were found during inspections. The property has a documented history of various safety and maintenance violations, including multiple issues with compactor closet doors on different stories, and several instances of emergency violations related to door and lock problems throughout 2024.
An Environmental Control Board violation from 2021 noted multiple fire escape landings and pathways being obstructed with window units and household items, resulting in a $1,250 penalty. Rodent inspections have shown varying results, with rat activity recorded between 2021 and 2022, though recent inspections in 2023 showed compliance. The building's most recent bedbug reports from 2023-2024 indicate no infestations. While many of the documented violations have been closed after inspections, the frequency and nature of the complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
