530 Carlton Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The 1880 three-story residential building at 530 Carlton Avenue in Prospect Heights, owned by Elisabeth Martin, has a relatively clean maintenance record over the past several years, with some notable exceptions. Most recently, in September 2024, there was a drinking water-related complaint that was promptly investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which found no health code violations.

The building has maintained good pest control practices, as evidenced by its bedbug reporting history from 2019 through 2024, showing no documented infestations or eradication efforts needed in any of the four reporting periods, with the most recent report covering November 2022 to October 2023 showing zero affected units. The property has had two significant clusters of complaints that merit attention. Between 2019 and 2020, there were multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to failing to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations have since been closed.

In 2025, there was a complaint regarding building shaking or vibrating, though the inspector was unable to gain access during the inspection attempt. The building has undergone several inspections related to rodent control, passing inspections in both 2018 and 2019, and there was one rat sighting complaint in 2019 that initiated an inspection process. While the most recent bedbug reporting period shows compliance with reporting requirements, the building's history of violations suggests there were previous lapses in administrative requirements, though these appear to have been addressed.
