1589 Ocean Avenue is a 4-story, 59-unit residential building constructed in 1922 and currently owned by David Nitzlichschacter. The property has experienced significant heating and maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water services between December 2024 and February 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. These emergency complaints were typically closed after occupancy confirmations of restored services, though access issues limited full inspections. The building also faced pest-related challenges in early 2025, with multiple 311 complaints about unsanitary conditions and pests, though these complaints were closed due to inspection access issues.
An inspection in May 2024 revealed several safety concerns requiring attention, including defective fire egress systems in multiple apartments (2B, 2F, 3P, and 4B), the need for smoke detector repairs in apartments 2A and 4A, carbon monoxide detector requirements in apartment 4A, and various maintenance issues such as broken plaster surfaces and paint problems in apartments 2F and 1M. Of particular note is an open violation regarding mold conditions in apartment 2F, documented in May 2024. The building's recent history includes two notable incidents in 2020 involving unsafe scaffold conditions that resulted in Environmental Control Board violations, though these were resolved with penalties totaling $1,875. While the building has maintained a rodent-free status in recent inspections, with passed inspections in 2016 and 2012, the current maintenance and heating issues suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and prompt response to tenant concerns. The property has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in recent annual filings between 2022-2024, indicating effective pest management in this regard.
