527 Linwood Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The 12-unit, 3-story building at 527 Linwood Street in East New York, owned by Cypress Village LP, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months. Between January and May 2025 alone, there were multiple housing complaints, including documented problems with unsanitary conditions (specifically pests and mold), water leaks, plumbing issues, and problems with doors and windows. The most recent complaints in May 2025 involved both mold and a slow water leak, with violations issued for the water leak that required the property owner to make corrections.

Other concerning issues include a cluster of violations identified in 2023 related to Apartment C1, including problems with self-closing doors, wall and ceiling conditions, and carbon monoxide detecting devices, though some violations from this period are marked as closed. The building's maintenance history also shows a pattern of issues requiring attention, including multiple pest-related complaints and plumbing problems, though no reports of bedbug infestations or rodent issues have been documented since 2018, when the initial rodent inspection passed. The building, constructed in 2013, has had a relatively thorough inspection and violation history, with some ongoing concerns about building maintenance and tenant comfort.

Notably, the current bedbug reporting period (2023-2025) shows no infestations, which is a positive aspect of the building's current conditions. While many of the 2023 violations have been addressed, the recent spate of complaints in 2025 suggests some continuing challenges with building maintenance and prompt response to emerging issues. The property has maintained regular filing of bedbug and rodent inspections since 2019, though the rodent-related complaints from 2018 were found to have no violations at the time of inspection.
