Augrented Insights Report for 2940 Ocean Avenue

The 63-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 2940 Ocean Avenue in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Andy Falkin, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since at least 2021, with the most significant recent problems centered around heating systems. In early 2025 alone, there were three separate heat/hot water complaints regarding the entire building, followed by a mouse sighting in June 2025 that resulted in health department violations requiring follow-up inspections. The building has a documented history of elevator system problems, with multiple ECB violations from 2018 through 2024 related to maintenance issues, water in the pit, and problematic safety features, resulting in penalties totaling approximately $6,000.

Between 2021-2023, there were several heat and hot water outages reported, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Other notable issues have included electrical problems (including a power outage in 2022 and lighting issues in 2021), door/window problems, and general maintenance concerns. The building's management has faced scrutiny for various maintenance compliance issues, including multiple emergency violations in 2021 regarding door, electrical, and pest control issues.

While the property has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations since 2019 and had recent rodent inspections in 2025 (one initial inspection noted rat activity, but a compliance inspection passed), the pattern of heating system failures and elevator maintenance violations suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges. The building has also experienced periodic issues with fire safety equipment, including problems with smoke detectors and safety signage. Recent inspections and filings indicate some unresolved permit issues from 2019-2020, though many other violations have been resolved or dismissed. The property has maintained regular reporting requirements for bedbugs and completed recent rodent inspections, suggesting some level of attention to pest management, despite the 2025 rodent violations.
