410 Ocean Parkway
Composite verdict
This 103-year-old walk-up at 410 Ocean Parkway has 22 open HPD violations — including 2 Class C (immediately hazardous) and 14 Class B (hazardous) — and an F grade from HPD, which is a serious red flag. The most recent logged violation involves a leaky bathtub faucet in Apt 2A that has been open for 924 days without resolution, suggesting the landlord (LBG LLC) is slow to address maintenance issues despite a 'normal' response classification. On the positive side, the building is almost entirely rent-stabilized (81 of 83 units, zero deregulations since 2007), the neighborhood crime score is 92/A, and transit and amenities are strong — but the HPD record and a medium bedbug risk (4 infested filings in the last 3 years) warrant serious scrutiny before signing.

- There are 22 open HPD violations including 2 Class C (immediately hazardous) and 14 Class B (hazardous) — can you provide a written plan and timeline for resolving each of these before move-in?
- The most recent logged HPD violation (leaky bathtub faucet, Apt 2A) has been open for 924 days — why has it not been resolved, and what does that say about how LBG LLC handles maintenance requests generally?
- 311 records show 242 HEAT/HOT WATER complaints in the area and the noise grade is D with 53 residential noise complaints in the past 12 months — what is the building's heating system, when was it last serviced, and how are noise complaints between tenants handled?
- The building was built in 1923 and is 103 years old — what major systems (boiler, plumbing, electrical, roof) have been updated, and can you provide documentation of those upgrades?
- Bedbug filings show 4 infested units in the last 3 years, placing this building at medium risk — what is the current pest control protocol, how often is the building treated, and has any unit in the building had an active infestation in the past 12 months?
- The building is listed as almost entirely rent-stabilized (81 of 83 units) with zero deregulations since 2007 — can you confirm in writing whether the specific unit being offered is rent-stabilized, and provide the legal regulated rent and rent history?
- Inspect the common areas — lobby, stairwells, and hallways — for signs of deferred maintenance consistent with the 22 open HPD violations: look for water stains, peeling paint, damaged plaster, broken fixtures, or evidence of pest activity given the medium bedbug risk.
- Check the building's heating infrastructure and hot water supply during the visit, particularly given 242 HEAT/HOT WATER 311 complaints nearby — ask to see the boiler room or at minimum run the hot water and check radiators in the unit, noting that the building is 103 years old.
- Walk the block and surrounding streets at the time of your showing to assess the residential noise environment firsthand — the noise grade is D with 53 residential noise complaints in the past 12 months, and 380 illegal parking complaints suggest active street congestion that may affect quality of life.
