1865 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230
1865 Ocean Avenue is a 6-story, 92-unit residential building constructed in 1951 and currently owned by R & R Building Company. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns centering around pest infestations, water-related problems, and heating systems. In May 2025, multiple reports of pest problems were documented, following similar complaints in November 2024. These infestations led to violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).
The building has also faced heat and hot water supply issues, with complaints in March 2025 and previous instances, including a significant building-wide outage in March 2025 that was reportedly resolved during inspection. Additional maintenance concerns have included unsatisfactory garbage storage conditions, a slow water leak (November 2024), and various issues with flooring and stairs. Notably, apartment 3E has been the subject of several documented violations, including pest infestations, mold presence, and water leak issues, though these were ultimately closed after required repairs. The building's infrastructure systems have shown some ongoing challenges, particularly with elevator services, as evidenced by multiple complaints between 2020-2022 regarding single device and multiple device operations, though inspections generally found no violations at the time.
The elevator system's maintenance was further highlighted by Environmental Control Board violations in 2019-2020 regarding various operational and safety concerns, all of which were resolved. A significant outstanding violation remains regarding the failure to file the Critical Examination report for exterior walls (FISP Cycle 9A) by February 2022. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years and all rodent inspections (2011-2015) showed passing results, the building's recent history suggests ongoing attention is needed to address basic maintenance and habitability issues. The property has also had various DOB violations related to timely reporting and equipment concerns, though many of these have been resolved or dismissed.
