269 Martense Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The three-story, three-unit New Law Tenement building at 269 Martense Street in East Flatbush, owned by Marica Beadle and constructed in 1930, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in February 2023, the building faced multiple complaints including indoor air quality concerns related to construction dust, and problems with walls, floors, and plumbing that required HPD intervention.

A significant pest-related complaint was also filed during this period, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. The property has a documented history of bedbug reporting violations, with four consecutive annual reports from 2021-2024 indicating non-compliance with filing requirements, though the most recent 2025 filing shows zero infested units. The building's maintenance history includes some successful resolutions to various issues, as evidenced by the closure of multiple HPD complaints within weeks of their filing, including those related to walls, floors, and water supply.

However, there are notable concerns regarding the building's plumbing system, with complaints filed in both February 2023 and July 2018, the latter resulting in an oath violation. While the property passed a rodent inspection in January 2020, previous inspections in 2010 had recorded rat activity. As of April 2025, the most recent filings indicate improved conditions, with no current bedbug infestation and no active pest-related complaints on record since 2023, though the building's maintenance history suggests ongoing vigilance may be required regarding various building systems and potential pest-related issues.
