608 Marlborough Road, Brooklyn, NY 11226

608 Marlborough Road is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law tenement building located in Flatbush, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Mohammed Hashem. The property has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in February 2025, including violations related to window guard safety, smoke detector functionality, and ventilation systems.

Prior to this, between January and May 2024, there were multiple emergency complaints about electrical wiring, smoke detector issues, and general maintenance problems, though many of these were closed without violations being issued. The building currently has several open Class B and C violations as of May 2024, including concerns about fire escape egress obstruction, illegal locking mechanisms on building gates, and heating system access problems. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of safety-related concerns, particularly regarding fire safety systems like smoke detectors and egress routes.

While there have been no documented bedbug infestations in recent years (with the last three reporting periods showing zero infested units), there are ongoing maintenance challenges that suggest some potential issues with building systems and safety compliance. The property has also passed rodent inspections in the past, with the most recent inspection in 2010 showing compliance. The owner has been subject to several Notices of Violation (NOVs) for various issues, though many violations have been resolved or closed through inspection processes.
