1941 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230

This three-story, six-unit residential building at 1941 Ocean Avenue in Midwood, owned by Moses Graus, was constructed in 1924 as a New Law tenement. The building experienced a cluster of maintenance issues in 2020, with multiple complaints filed in May of that year, including concerns about unsafe garbage/recycling storage, fire escape conditions, missing signage, and inadequate lighting.

The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to access the property for inspections in most of these cases, though some electrical issues were later investigated with no violations found. The building's history shows several notable violations from early 2020, including issues with fire escape access, garbage disposal systems, and safety features such as self-closing doors and vestibule conditions.

These violations were all eventually closed, and there have been no new violations recorded in recent years. The property has undergone regular bedbug reporting, with the most recent filing in January 2024 showing zero infested or re-infested units for the period from November 2022 to October 2023. The building's current status appears stable, with no open violations or recent complaints on record since 2020, and all previously noted issues related to garbage storage, fire safety, and building signage have been resolved as of the most recent inspections in 2023.
