353 Linden Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

353 Linden Street is a 4-story, 14-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Robert Peguero. The building has experienced several noteworthy maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns including indoor air quality problems due to construction dust in January 2025, and multiple violations issued in August 2024 affecting various building components. These violations include issues with windows, stairs (both floors and staircases), electrical systems (with reports of no lighting), fire escape safety, bell/buzzer/intercom systems, and door conditions.

Of particular concern are the open violations from the August 2024 inspection, which require repairs to the fire escape, various floor issues in multiple hallways, and the building's intercom system. The building's violation history indicates ongoing maintenance challenges, including several open Class A and B violations from the August 2024 inspection related to building upkeep, such as the need to scrape and paint fire escape components and address broken doors at various floors. Additionally, there are three open bedbug report-related violations from 2022-2024 that have not been certified as corrected. Earlier maintenance issues have included problems with garbage/recycling storage, which was marked as a violation in July 2024 but later closed without specific repairs mentioned.

The property has had a mixed record with rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections in early 2025 showing a "Passed" result, though previous inspections from 2024-2023 indicated rat activity that required attention. The building's inspection record shows some positive developments, including the resolution of various non-emergency violations and successful rodent inspections in recent months. However, the presence of multiple open violations relating to building systems and safety features suggests ongoing maintenance requirements. Recent 311 service requests have primarily been addressed through advisory notices, indicating that while complaints are being documented, some issues may require further follow-up to ensure proper resolution.
