255 Linden Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 255 Linden Boulevard in East Flatbush, owned by Sims Langaigne, has experienced several significant safety and maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in April 2024, the building faced multiple emergency situations that required immediate attention, including problems with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, electrical wiring, doors, and heating/hot water systems.

These issues were all documented and addressed within days of being reported. Additionally, there is an active DOB violation as of June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection. The building has a consistent history of bedbug reporting requirements under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations, with violations noted in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021, though the most recent filings (2023 and 2022) indicate no infested units were present during the reporting periods.

An initial rodent inspection from 2011 showed compliance with passing results, suggesting improved pest management over time. A ventilation system issue was documented as a non-emergency in April 2024, along with a pest-related unsanitary condition violation that was classified as non-emergency, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges. While most previous violations related to bedbug reporting have been resolved, the building's recent cluster of emergency safety issues and the open bedbug reporting violation from 2024 merit attention to the building's overall maintenance compliance history.
