Augrented Insights Report for 1439 Ocean Avenue

1439 Ocean Avenue is a 72-unit, 6-story New Law tenement building located in Midwood, Brooklyn, constructed in 1922 and currently owned by Leah Berkovits. The building has experienced ongoing issues with heat and hot water, particularly evident through a series of emergency complaints between May and June 2025, with multiple reports indicating these services were restored upon inspection. Recent complaints from June 2025 also highlight concerns with garbage and recycling storage, though inspections found no housing law violations in these areas.

The property has a documented history of elevator maintenance challenges, with multiple complaints in 2024 regarding safety devices and egress issues, including a December 2024 violation for a key-locking device obstructing egress in the basement, resulting in a $1250 penalty. Significant past maintenance issues include structural concerns in 2021-2022 when a bathroom floor collapse in Apartment A11 was reported, leading to a $6250 violation. This incident prompted major repairs and inspections, including the replacement of corroded supporting elements.

The building's systems have been under scrutiny for elevator-related issues, with multiple violations between 2021-2024 regarding door mechanisms, emergency lighting, and operational concerns. The property has experienced periodic pest issues, as shown in bedbug reports, with three units affected in 2022-2023, though inspections from 2024-2025 show no current infestations. While the building has generally passed recent rodent inspections (2021 and 2022), historical records from 2018-2019 show several failures for various reasons. The property has also faced administrative challenges regarding inspection filings, with violations noted in 2023 for failure to submit external low-pressure inspection records, though these were subsequently dismissed.
