138 Thomas S Boyland St, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The 4-story, 45-unit tenement building at 138 Thomas S Boyland St in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Phillip Llenas, has experienced a series of maintenance challenges between 2023-2025. Most concerning are multiple recent water-related issues, with emergency water leak complaints recorded in February 2025 and December 2024 showing heavy flow problems.

There have also been recurring sanitation issues, particularly sewage-related complaints in December 2024, and a history of heating problems affecting individual apartments. The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with inspections determining that many complaints, including water issues and unsanitary conditions, did not violate housing laws, though several complaints were classified as emergencies. The building underwent significant inspection activity in late 2024, particularly focused on Apartment 2A, where multiple violations were documented including defective bathroom tiles, various plumbing issues, and safety concerns such as missing carbon monoxide detectors.

More recent issues in 2025 included structural concerns, with emergency work orders issued for a loose fire escape anchor and broken window panes on multiple floors, though these were subsequently repaired according to inspection records. The property has maintained a good record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the most recent three reporting periods (2022-2025), and passed all rodent inspections conducted between 2016-2021. While there have been multiple violation notices issued for the building, records indicate that most issues were promptly addressed and resolved, particularly those involving building safety and structural integrity.
