156 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238
156 St Marks Avenue is a 3-story, 7-unit residential building constructed in 1877 in Prospect Heights, currently owned by Wiletha Jones. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, most notably in March 2019 when an emergency complaint was filed regarding no heat or hot water in the entire building, though this was resolved shortly thereafter.
Recent inspections in 2023 revealed multiple violations in apartment 3F, including defective intercom system, non-functional smoke detector, and broken kitchen cabinets, all of which have since been closed. The building has an open violation from 2024 requiring the filing of an annual bedbug report, and there are two active Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 regarding failure to file external low pressure inspections for 2018 and 2019.
The property has shown some improvement over time, having passed a rodent inspection in February 2018, though this was conducted several years ago. Other maintenance issues have been documented, including the accumulation of refuse in the basement that was noted during the 2023 inspections. The building's violation history suggests ongoing challenges with maintenance compliance, particularly regarding required annual reports and timely inspections, with the most recent violations being more than two years old as of July 2025.
