512 Linwood Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208
The 3-unit, 3-story building at 512 Linwood Street in East New York, owned by Yosef Blau and constructed in 1930, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in late 2024. Between September and October 2024, multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding water leaks (heavy flow), window frame issues, and pest problems, with one notable violation in Apartment 2 involving defective self-closing doors.
An HPD inspection on October 4, 2024, resulted in multiple violations including requirements for proper safety notices regarding gas leaks, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as the need to repair a broken window sash in Apartment 2 and address ceiling paint requirements in the bathroom. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of various issues over time, including a power outage complaint in May 2023 that was resolved by January 2024, and multiple pest-related complaints in 2024, though many of these were closed without violations being found. The property has undergone bedbug reporting inspections consistently since 2021, with no infestations reported in recent filings from 2024 and 2025.
A complaint regarding illegal conversion was filed in August 2024 but could not be investigated due to access issues. Despite the various maintenance challenges documented, the building has passed rodent inspections, the last being in 2012. Notably, while there have been multiple complaints and violations, recent filings indicate improvements in pest control, with no infested dwelling units reported in the most recent bedbug filings.
