305 Martense Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226
305 Martense Street is a 4-story, 28-unit residential building located in East Flatbush, built in 1925 and currently owned by Gerson Aguilar. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water, with the most recent complaint in June 2025 being resolved just three days after reporting. Multiple complaints about plumbing issues, particularly involving sinks and basins, were reported in May 2025, with some inspections being partially completed by HPD.
There have been several concerns about appliances, particularly refrigerators, with multiple complaints filed and investigated in 2025. The building has documented violations, particularly in Apartment 1B, including open violations for rodent infestations (mice and roaches) from May 2024, though many other violations have been closed following repairs and inspections. The property has a history of maintenance issues dating back to 2019, including boiler problems and a significant Environmental Control Board violation regarding the boiler room conditions, though this was resolved with a penalty of $1,562.
The building's systems have faced scrutiny, with a 2023 violation for failing to file an external low-pressure inspection. While the building has consistently reported no bedbug infestations in recent years, the recurring issues with heating, plumbing, and appliance functionality suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent complaints have been addressed relatively promptly, but there remain concerns about the building's infrastructure and habitability conditions.
