217 Martense Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226
The 4-unit, 2-story New Law Tenement building at 217 Martense Street in East Flatbush, owned by Edward Inniss, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, particularly concerning heat and hot water systems.
In February 2022, there were multiple emergency complaints filed regarding lack of heat and hot water, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though these issues were reportedly resolved within a few days. More recently, the building has been cited for non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with four open violations issued between 2021 and 2024 for failure to file the annual bedbug report as mandated by HPD regulations.
On a positive note, the building successfully passed an initial rodent inspection in January 2020, though this was well over five years ago and may not accurately reflect the current condition. The most recent documented inspection, from April 2024, shows the bedbug reporting violation remains open, indicating ongoing non-compliance with this specific requirement.
