2951 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11235

2951 Ocean Avenue is a 6-story, 75-unit residential building built in 1957 and currently owned by Heshy Eissenberg. The property has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues, with eight documented complaints since 2019, including multiple building-wide outages in late 2024 and early 2025, though most were resolved relatively quickly. The building has also faced several safety concerns, including violations related to fire escape functionality and self-closing doors.

Recent inspections in July 2023 documented multiple violations regarding defective fire escape ladders at three different locations, which were subsequently certified for correction in August 2023. The building is currently subject to active Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections, with the most recent violation issued in May 2024 regarding unauthorized electrical work related to a sidewalk shed. There are also several historical compliance issues, including a 2020 violation for failure to submit a required Cycle 8C report for critical examination of exterior walls.

While there have been some environmental concerns, including garbage storage issues, these were either resolved or determined not to violate housing laws. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations or treatments in the past four years (2019-2024). Recent violations have primarily focused on building safety features, documentation, and maintenance requirements, though many of these issues appear to have been addressed promptly following official inspections.
