265 Linden Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 265 Linden Boulevard in East Flatbush, owned by Michael Luma and constructed in 1931, has experienced several notable maintenance issues and violations over recent years. Most concerning is the building's failure to submit required annual low-pressure inspection reports between 2018 and 2023, with active violations remaining as of mid-2023. There have been recurring heating system issues, with a documented heat/hot water complaint in November 2021 that was resolved within days.

The building's plumbing systems also appear to require attention, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024. The Department of Buildings received three access-denied complaints in September 2019 related to illegal conversion, permits, and fence conditions, though these were eventually closed. While the building has generally passed rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in 2019 showing no significant issues, there was a rodent-related complaint filed in September 2019 that went unresolved according to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

An ECB violation was recorded in 2018 related to non-compliance with a commission order, resulting in a $400 penalty. The building's management has been responsive to tenant complaints when reported, but the pattern of unfiled inspection reports and recurring bedbug reporting violations suggests some ongoing oversight challenges. The most recent bedbug report filed in April 2024 indicates zero infestation cases between November 2022 and October 2023, suggesting effective management of this particular issue.
