22 Martense Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226
22 Martense Street is a 56-unit, 6-story residential building constructed in 1962, currently owned by Mortimer Leitch. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout early 2025, with multiple complaints registered between December 2024 through March 2025, indicating persistent maintenance challenges. During this period, there were also complaints about smoking in forbidden areas and issues with elevator service, with multiple active elevator complaints filed in June 2025 regarding single device service without alternate options.
The building has a documented history of maintenance and habitability issues, most notably including a notable bedbug infestation cycle between 2018-2025, though the most recent report from May 2025 shows no current infestations. There are also two open violations from 2024 regarding pest control, specifically roach infestations in apartments 2B and 5G. Additional maintenance concerns have included water damage affecting multiple units, particularly in 2021 (apartments 6D, 6H, 6G), and various violations related to the laundry room door mechanisms.
The building's management has shown compliance with various correction orders, having resolved multiple violations related to elevator safety and building maintenance between 2018-2024. The property has also filed the required Elevator Inspection Reports (EER) for multiple years, though there is an active violation from 2019 regarding a missed FISP Cycle 8A Technical Report. While the building has been responsive to some maintenance issues, the frequency of heating system complaints and recent elevator service concerns suggest ongoing operational challenges. The property has maintained a regular schedule of bedbug reporting and eradication efforts, though infestations have occurred periodically across multiple units since 2018.
