685 Linden Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-story, three-unit building at 685 Linden Boulevard in East Flatbush, owned by June Henry-Singleton, has undergone several significant compliance issues over the past few years, with the most pressing concerns centered around lead paint safety and bedbug reporting requirements. The property, which was originally built in 1920 and is now classified as a converted Class A building, has open violations from December 2022 related to failure to provide required lead-based paint records and failure to notify occupants about lead paint hazards, both of which are classified as Class C violations indicating their seriousness and potential impact on resident safety.

The building has also experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, though recent filings indicate no active infestations. Three Class A violations were issued between 2021 and 2024 for failure to file annual bedbug reports, with the most recent violation occurring in April 2024.

However, the subsequent bedbug report filed in April 2024 (covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023) indicates no infested units or eradication efforts were necessary, suggesting successful management of this issue despite the reporting violations. Additionally, a Class C violation was recorded in April 2023 regarding an illegal double-cylinder key-operated lock at the building's storm door, though this violation has since been closed. The owner has demonstrated some responsiveness to violations, as evidenced by the closing of multiple bedbug reporting violations, but the persistent nature of certain compliance issues raises concerns about ongoing oversight of building safety regulations.
