1299 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230
This 48-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building located at 1299 Ocean Avenue in Flatbush, built in 1924 and currently owned by Yehoshia Sturm, has experienced significant ongoing maintenance issues, particularly in the first half of 2025. Recent HPD inspections from May 2025 revealed multiple violations requiring correction, including problems with plumbing (bathtubs/showers and toilets), appliances (refrigerators and electric/gas ranges), and sanitation (pest infestations). In December 2024, violations were issued regarding water leaks and various maintenance issues in Apartment 2H, including mold, peeling paint, and pest infestations.
The building has a notable history of elevator service issues, with multiple complaints about single device operation and no alternate service between 2023 and 2025, and an active complaint regarding elevator service as of February 2025. Structural concerns were raised in 2024 about building stability, though inspections did not find violations. A recurring pest management issue is indicated by multiple rat activity reports throughout 2024-2025, despite some inspections passing.
The property has also faced electrical and safety concerns, with multiple ECB violations issued in 2020-2021 regarding various electrical system deficiencies, though most were resolved. Recent inspections and complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly relating to plumbing, sanitation, and building systems. However, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, and the building underwent some permitting activity in 2021, though the nature of these permits is not specified in the available data. The current active ECB violation regarding fire escape obstruction and multiple open violations from 2024-2025 suggest continuing compliance challenges, particularly in terms of building systems and resident amenities.
