245 Martense Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226
The four-story, 8-unit building at 245 Martense Street in East Flatbush, currently owned by Eric Scolumb, has experienced persistent maintenance and safety issues throughout 2023-2025. Recent complaints in May 2025 regarding unsanitary sewage conditions and plumbing problems (sink, bathtub/shower) went uninspected due to access issues.
In June 2025, multiple violations were documented including unsanitary conditions with mold, water leaks (both slow and heavy flow), ceiling paint issues, and problems with flooring/stairs. Previous inspections from late 2023 and mid-2024 revealed multiple issues in apartments 4 and 8, including defective plastered surfaces, bathroom ceiling problems, plumbing issues, and safety concerns such as an inoperable smoke detector in apartment 8.
The building has a history of unresolved access issues for inspections, with multiple HPD complaints in 2025 and earlier cases where inspectors were unable to gain access. Electrical safety concerns emerged in mid-2023 with reported defective wiring in apartment 3, and there are active ECB violations from 2019-2021 regarding unauthorized basement bathroom installations and plumbing issues. The property has maintained a pest-free status in recent bedbug reporting periods (2022-2025), and passed a rodent inspection in 2020, though it failed a 2017 inspection for "Other Reasons." While some violations have been resolved, including those related to mold and ceiling damage in various apartments, several active violations and recent complaints indicate ongoing maintenance challenges.
