Augrented Insights Report for 2970 Ocean Avenue

2970 Ocean Avenue is a 39-unit, 4-story residential building constructed in 1927, currently owned by Eva Stern 2970 LLC. The building has recently experienced significant heating and hot water system issues, with multiple emergency complaints recorded in April and May 2025, indicating persistent problems with this essential service. In June 2025, a refrigeration-related complaint resulted in HPD violations, though records indicate the owners were given an opportunity to address the issue. The building's entrance security and access systems have been a recurring concern, with multiple violations documented in December 2024 related to defective self-closing doors and latches at both the building entrance and vestibule doors.

Historical records show a pattern of maintenance and compliance challenges, including three attempts to investigate illegal hotel room usage between 2024-2025 (with two inspections resulting in access denial), a complaint about illegal work in progress in August 2024, and multiple violations regarding fence maintenance in 2020. The building's systems have been subject to various inspections, with most recent rodent inspections in 2021-2022 showing compliance. While there were some reports of bedbug infestations between 2019-2020, recent filings from 2021-2024 show no documented infestations. The Department of Buildings issued recent violations in 2024 regarding unauthorized electrical work for an exterior HVAC unit, for which a fine was imposed.

All recorded violations have been closed, though there remain active violations regarding energy efficiency score display requirements from 2021. The property has undergone periodic inspections for maintenance compliance, with the most recent housing maintenance code violations being addressed in early 2025. The building appears to have maintained compliance with rodent inspections in recent years, though initial inspections between 2018-2019 showed some issues. The presence of multiple complaints about heating issues in 2025 suggests ongoing challenges with building systems maintenance, which has been a recurring theme in the building's recent history.
