2752 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11229

The 20-unit condominium at 2752 Ocean Avenue in Sheepshead Bay, built in 2004, has experienced recurring moisture-related issues in recent years, with multiple complaints documented in 2024 alone. Between April and May 2024, the building received several emergency complaints from residents regarding heavy water leaks and mold problems, and while these were addressed promptly, violations were issued under the Housing Maintenance Code. The building has also faced persistent interior maintenance challenges, including a 2024 violation regarding ceiling repair needs in apartment 5C, and several notable safety-related issues including multiple violations related to self-closing doors in the hallways and a lack of required safety notices (e.g., smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detecting device requirements).

All units currently show active violations relating to building signage and notice requirements established by the Admin Code. Other historical issues include a documented slow water leak in late 2021 that resulted in violations, and earlier water-related problems in 2019-2020. The property has a somewhat concerning pattern of water-related issues, with six complaints regarding water leaks or unsanitary conditions (including mold) recorded since 2021.

Recent inspections in 2024, including a September rodent inspection, generally show compliance with health and safety codes, though the building is currently facing a $2,500 Environmental Control Board violation regarding parking structure inspection report requirements that appears to be active as of October 2024. The building's management has generally responded to complaints promptly, with most being resolved within days, though some issues have persisted for extended periods, particularly during 2024. The building's elevator system received attention in 2019-2020, with one complaint regarding single device service, though this was ultimately found to have no violation at the time of inspection.
