268 Linwood Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The 6-unit residential building at 268 Linwood Street in Cypress Hills, owned by Aron Schwartz, is a 3-story Old Law Tenement constructed in 1905. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years, with particular concerns about heat and hot water systems, documented through emergency complaints in March 2021 and January 2022, though both issues were promptly resolved.

A significant cluster of complaints emerged in late 2020, including violations related to the ventilation system, multiple window-related issues (frames and panes), plumbing problems in the bathtub/shower, and general cabinet concerns, with some violations noted and resolutions documented through HPD inspections. More recent concerns include a rodent-related complaint in June 2023 that was not able to be inspected due to access issues, though a subsequent rodent inspection in September 2023 passed. The building has active violations related to external low-pressure inspection filings for the years 2021-2023, as documented in June 2023.

Notably, there have been no recorded bedbug infestations since 2020, with recent reports (2022-2025) indicating zero infested or re-infested units. The property underwent two tenant safety inspections in 2021, one resulting in compliance and the other finding no violations. The building's maintenance history shows some attention to safety issues, including a July 2020 violation regarding gas leak procedures and several repairs to Apartment 3L involving the bathtub, window frame, and kitchen vent.
