Augrented Insights Report for 221 Martense Street

The 5-story, 9-unit residential building at 221 Martense Street in East Flatbush, built in 1931 and currently owned by Joel Rubin, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning are recurring water-related problems, with multiple complaints about leaks between late 2023 and early 2024, including both slow and heavy flow leaks, as well as plumbing issues related to toilets. In December 2023, several maintenance issues were reported and subsequently addressed, including problems with a door, an electric/gas range, and mold concerns.

The building's inspection history shows no active bedbug issues since 2019, with all recent reports (2020-2024) indicating zero infested units and successful eradication where needed. The property underwent significant construction work in 2019, during which several safety violations were documented and resolved, including issues with scaffolding, roof protection, and site safety plans. Multiple stop-work orders were issued but subsequently rescinded.

The building's systems and maintenance records from 2020-2025 show regular permit issuance for various maintenance and construction work, and the most recent rodent inspection in 2020 resulted in a passing grade. Although there have been multiple housing maintenance code complaints, particularly regarding plumbing and water issues, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development has generally found no violations upon inspection, and most recent complaints have been closed with conditions verified as corrected. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, with all recent filings showing zero infested units and no penalty imposition, suggesting good pest management practices currently in place.
