Augrented Insights Report for 1355 Ocean Avenue

1355 Ocean Avenue is a 54-unit, 6-story Class A residential building constructed in 1937, currently owned by Harry Forhand. The building has experienced recurring and significant heating and hot water system issues throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints showing both heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building.

Between February and March 2025 alone, there were at least 10 documented complaints regarding heat/hot water issues, most of which were categorized as building-wide problems and involved multiple service requests. The building currently has several active violations that warrant attention, including two open violations from November 2024 regarding defective fire escape fascia plates on the 5th and 6th stories, and an active Environmental Control Board violation regarding boiler issues from October 2024, including an oil leak at the relief valve, defective gas pilot regulator, and inoperable second boiler room door.

The property has also been cited for various maintenance issues, including multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2024 related to self-closing doors in compactor closets on the first and sixth floors. While there have been numerous heating system failures, the building has shown good pest management practices, with no documented bedbug infestations in the past five years and regular bait inspections for rodents, though there have been some instances of rat activity reported during inspections in 2024 and 2025. The building's owners have received citations for failing to maintain proper documentation, including energy efficiency ratings, though this has been properly addressed in recent years.
