The 30-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 497 Linden Boulevard in East Flatbush, owned by Harry Stern, has been experiencing ongoing maintenance and safety issues, particularly in 2025. The most concerning recent incidents include unsanitary conditions related to pests (February - March 2025), problems with the ventilation system (March 2025), and multiple violations related to radiator paint/plaster issues (May 2025).
The building has documented multiple pest-related complaints throughout 2025 and unsanitary garbage/recycling storage issues in early 2025, demonstrating ongoing maintenance challenges. Additionally, there are open violations from 2024 regarding fire retardant material repair requirements in the 1st-story public hall, indicating potential safety concerns.
The building has a history of various maintenance issues over the past several years, including a notable cracked window issue in 2022 that resulted in an Environmental Control Board violation regarding building maintenance compliance. While the property has maintained records showing compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2024, the building has experienced recurring violations of various Housing Maintenance Code requirements, including problems with window frames, water leaks, and garbage storage.
