AI summary · updated June 2026

This 8-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 275 Martense Street in East Flatbush, owned by Joe Nebenzahl, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there were multiple unsanitary conditions reported in September 2022, including pest infestations and sewage problems, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. A building-wide heat and hot water complaint was filed and resolved in February 2023. In 2020, Apartment 3E was the focus of multiple violations, including problems with lead-based paint, rodent infestations, and various maintenance issues, though some of these were later certified as corrected by September 2020. The building has had several Housing Maintenance Code violations related to unauthorized work and occupancy issues, particularly regarding illegal conversion of cellar space, which resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board penalties between 2019-2020 totaling $12,500. More recent inspections have shown improvements, with no bedbug or rodent issues reported since 2020, and all 311 complaints from 2023 being promptly addressed, including the heat and hot water issue. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to building systems and compliance with housing codes, particularly regarding previous lead paint and pest control concerns, though many historical violations have been resolved or closed.
