304 Linden Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11226

304 Linden Boulevard is a 3-story, 5-unit residential building located in East Flatbush, built in 1931 and currently owned by Fay Townsend. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water documented through 311 service requests and HPD complaints between 2022-2024, most recently in January 2024. These issues have resulted in several violations, including an open violation from January 2024 concerning locked access to the heating system in the basement, and a violation regarding inadequate heat supply in apartment 1F.

The property has also faced maintenance challenges, with an Environmental Control Board violation from May 2022 regarding the building's facade and entry stoop condition, which resulted in a $625 penalty. Other documented issues have included pest problems in 2019 (with violations issued), and various maintenance concerns such as wall and ceiling plaster issues, though many of these have been resolved. More recent inspections indicate improvements in some areas, with no reported bedbug infestations in the most recent filing period (2022-2023) and the required bedbug reports have been filed through 2024.

The building's heating system remains a significant area of concern, as evidenced by multiple emergency complaints in 2024 alone. A permit for work was issued in March 2020, though the specific nature of this work is not detailed in the provided data. While some violations have been resolved, there are still several open violations related to heating maintenance and door issues as of October 2023. The Department of Buildings issued a violation in 2022 for failure to maintain the building in a code-compliant manner, specifically citing issues with the front entry stoop and cornice.
