353 Linden Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11203

353 Linden Boulevard, a 4-story, 23-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1921 and currently owned by Solomon Landau, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past two years. Between October 2024 and January 2025, there were six separate complaints about lack of heat and hot water in the entire building, with three of these complaints in November 2024 alone. All these complaints were eventually resolved, typically confirmed by building occupants at the time of HPD inspection.

The building has documented several housing maintenance code violations, including issues with self-closing doors leading to the yard and public hall on the first story, and a specific violation regarding hot water provision in Apartment 2D. The property has a notable history of fire safety concerns, with multiple violations regarding obstructed fire escape landings and a $6,250 penalty for fire escape maintenance issues in 2021. More recent inspections in 2024 revealed a chimney in disrepair in the courtyard area, resulting in a $2,500 penalty.

While the building has maintained a bedbug-free record in recent reporting periods (with no infested units reported since 2020), it should be noted that there was an illegal conversion complaint regarding the building in 2021, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their attempts to investigate. A building shaking/structural stability complaint was reported in April 2025, but no violations were found during inspection. The property’s heating system maintenance appears to be a persistent issue, with multiple emergency complaints filed through 311 services and the Housing Maintenance Code system, though these issues have generally been resolved promptly when reported.
