256 Martense Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building at 256 Martense Street in East Flatbush, owned by Thelma J McIntosh, has had several notable events regarding its maintenance and inspections over recent years. Most recently, in June 2025, there was one rodent sighting reported and investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though the property passed inspection with no violations found.

A concerning active violation remains on record from June 2023 regarding the failure to file the required 2018 external low-pressure inspection. Historical records show a pattern of rodent inspections, with an August 2010 initial inspection resulting in failure for "Other Reasons," though subsequent compliance inspections that same month passed.

On a positive note regarding pest management, the building has maintained a clean record concerning bedbugs over the past five years, with all annual reports from 2020 through 2024 indicating zero cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation in any of the units. The most recent bedbug report from December 2024 continued this pattern of cleanliness. While the building has experienced occasional rodent-related incidents, both the 2025 rodent sighting and the earlier 2010 inspections show that when problems are identified, the building management has typically taken steps to address them, as evidenced by the passing inspection results that followed initial failures.
