2900 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11235
The 88-unit residential building at 2900 Ocean Avenue in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Grace Bishop and constructed in 1957, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with particular concerns about pest infestations, heat and hot water systems, and building safety compliance. Most recently, in May 2025, a complaint regarding unsanitary conditions involving pests was filed but could not be inspected by HPD due to lack of access. This follows multiple pest-related complaints in 2024, including an active violation from April 2024 regarding mouse infestation in apartment 5G.
The building has also faced heat and hot water problems, with complaints in January and February 2025 claiming these essential services were temporarily unavailable, though they were reportedly restored before HPD inspections. Significant building safety violations remain open as of 2024-2025, including issues with self-closing fire doors on the first floor, an open water damage violation from September 2023 affecting apartment 4M, and multiple outstanding Energy Efficiency Reporting violations covering 2018-2023. Additional historical context includes documented bedbug activity between 2018-2019, though recent rodent inspections from 2019-2020 showed compliance with pest control requirements.
The building has received multiple Department of Buildings violations related to elevator maintenance and emergency systems, including three active violations from July 2023 regarding elevator inspection requirements, safety equipment, and maintenance logs, with penalties totaling $4,062. The property has also experienced water-related issues, with several complaints about slow water leaks and drainage problems documented in 2023. While some building complaints have been resolved, including various paint/plaster issues and water leak complaints from 2023, the persistence of certain violations and recurring maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and compliance.
