543 Linden Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 543 Linden Boulevard in East Flatbush, owned by Hiyung Chan and constructed in 1925, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past five years. Most recently, in January 2025, there was a heat and hot water complaint that HPD was unable to investigate due to access issues, marking a concerning pattern as this is the same complaint type noted in a separate emergency report from the same period.

The building's history also shows significant pest-related issues, with verified infestations reported in June 2019. Moreover, the property has four open violations dating from 2021 to 2024, all relating to the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports as required under the Housing Maintenance Code.

While these violations are classified as "Class A," which generally indicates a less severe nature, their persistent nature over multiple years suggests ongoing noncompliance with this specific regulatory requirement. The building's documented history raises several concerns about general maintenance and resident comfort, particularly regarding heating systems and pest management, though it's worth noting that not all complaints may necessarily indicate ongoing issues, as some are closed due to lack of access for inspection.
