Augrented Insights Report for 1521 Ocean Avenue

1521 Ocean Avenue is a 6-story, 70-unit residential building located in Midwood and owned by Joel Mizrahi. Built in 1925, this New Law Tenement property has experienced several maintenance and habitability issues in recent years. The building has faced recurring heating and hot water problems, with emergency complaints logged in November and December 2024, though one was resolved through phone confirmation of repairs.

There have been multiple incidents regarding unsanitary conditions, including mold and pest infestations, particularly affecting apartments B2, A10, and E4 in 2024. The property has also documented various infrastructural concerns, including issues with paint and plaster surfaces, particularly in units B2 and E8, and problems with windows and doors. Recent complaints indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, including a 2025 complaint about an electric/gas range that could not be inspected due to access issues.

Historical data shows past violations related to elevator operation (2019) and building safety requirements. Notably, all recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 show no infestation, and the most recent rodent inspection in December 2023 resulted in a passing compliance inspection. The building has some active violations regarding energy efficiency display requirements as of December 2024.
