Augrented Insights Report for 1569 Ocean Avenue

1569 Ocean Avenue is a 57-unit, 4-story tenement building in Midwood, constructed in 1922 and currently owned by Esther Sokolowski. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in 2025, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints generated between March and June 2025, including problems with doors, windows, ceiling paint/plaster, and a significant water leak that was categorized as an emergency.

Many of these complaints resulted in HPD inspection attempts where access could not be gained, leading to complaint closures without resolution confirmation. The property has two active Housing Maintenance Code violations as of 2024, including an open violation from April 2024 regarding a roof leak in the public hall on the 4th story, and a public hall ceiling repair violation from December 2024. The building has faced ongoing infrastructure challenges, including two emergency heat/hot water complaints in June 2025 and a water leak issue in April 2025.

Department of Buildings records show a boiler-related violation from September 2024 with a penalty of $3,125 for improper installation and maintenance issues, though there was also an apparent historical pattern of failing to file required boiler inspection reports in 2017 and 2018, with the 2017 violation resulting in a $1,000 penalty. There have been rodent inspection failures recorded in recent years, notably in February 2024 and January 2024, though the most recent bedbug report from July 2024 showed no infestation during the previous filing period. The building's regulatory history suggests persistent maintenance and compliance challenges, particularly regarding timely response to repair requests and access for inspections, though some violations have been resolved through certification by the owner.
