554 Linden Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11203

554 Linden Boulevard is a 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1926, currently owned by the Estate of Jean D Mocombe and located in East Flatbush. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent incidents in July 2023 involving unsanitary conditions related to pests and cabinet problems, both of which received violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

A significant cluster of complaints and violations occurred in late 2022, including heating system failures affecting the entire building during December 2022, and multiple infrastructure issues related to plumbing, electrical systems, and bathroom facilities. More concerning is the current cluster of open violations from October 2023, primarily affecting apartments 1C, 1B, and 2A, which include pest infestations (both roaches and mice), damaged electrical fixtures, maintenance concerns with the steam risers, and various repair needs including broken tiles and plaster surfaces. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic systems and resident comfort, though there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, as evidenced by the property’s bedbug report filings between 2021-2024 showing zero infested or eradicated units.

A bedbug-related violation was issued in April 2024 regarding a missed annual report filing, and there is currently an open violation from June 2023 concerning an external low-pressure system inspection that was not filed. While the building has a documented history of plumbing, electrical, and heating system issues, it should be noted that not all complaints resulted in violations, as evidenced by several March 2022 complaints being closed without violations. The property has undergone multiple inspections and received various code compliance notices, indicating active oversight by regulatory authorities.
