75 Martense Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226

75 Martense Street is a 6-story, 41-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1936, currently owned by Theodore Weinberger. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant problems occurring in 2024-2025, including multiple plumbing issues (water leaks and sink problems), electrical concerns (outlet/switch problems), and unsanitary conditions (mold). The building has an active violation as of May 2024 related to water leakage in Apartment 2G and had violations issued in early 2025 for plumbing and water leak issues.

Earlier concerns included repeated heat/hot water complaints in February 2024, which were initially concerning but resulted in no violations being issued. The property has a documented history of bedbug infestations, with one case reported in 2020-2021 and two in 2018-2019, though recent reports from 2022-2025 indicate no current infestations. The building has undergone several inspections and witnessed various maintenance issues since 2019.

These include a 2021 Local Law Audit and Tenant Safety Inspection that found no violations, though there was an Oath Violation related to the elevator in 2019. Recent inspections in 2024 identified multiple issues requiring attention, including door/frame problems, self-closing door deficiencies in public areas, and various apartment-specific repairs needed in Apartment 2G. While there have been numerous maintenance requests and violations, most have been addressed promptly, with only a few ongoing issues as of mid-2025. The building appears to receive regular inspections, and while there have been periodic issues with access for inspections, most recent complaints have been investigated, though some resulted in no violations being found despite the reported problems.
