251 Martense Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226
The three-story, four-unit residential building at 251 Martense Street in East Flatbush, owned by Latoya Horton, has been in operation since 1931 as a New Law Tenement.
The property has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, as evidenced by four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024, all relating to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations. The building also had a significant incident in August 2020 involving mold conditions, which were reported as unsanitary but could not be inspected by the Housing Preservation and Development Department, leading to the complaint's closure with a note for re-filing if the conditions persisted.
On a positive note, the building passed a rodent inspection in January 2020, and there were three other complaints in 2019 (regarding permit status and fence conditions) and one in 2021 (about illegal commercial use) that were all investigated and found to have no violations at the time of inspection. While the bedbug reporting issue appears to be ongoing, there have been no recent complaints about mold or other sanitary conditions in the past three years.
