163 Linden Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11226

Located in East Flatbush, 163 Linden Boulevard is a 3-story, 8-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Ben Soleimani. The building has experienced recurring heating and electrical issues in recent years, with multiple complaints about inadequate heat and hot water affecting both individual apartments and the entire building cluster. Most recently, in February 2025, there were reports of no heat or hot water, though these issues were reportedly resolved during inspection.

December 2024 also saw multiple emergency complaints regarding heat, hot water, and electrical problems, with inspectors frequently unable to access units for verification. Notable violations were recorded in September 2023 in Apartment 6, including issues with electrical service, carbon monoxide detector replacement, smoke detector functionality, various maintenance matters, and a pest control violation related to mice infestation. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of infrastructure challenges, including heating systems and electrical supply issues, particularly affecting Apartment 4 (which had a Class C electrical violation in 2024). Several emergency complaints were filed between September 2023 and April 2025, covering a range of issues from heating problems to window frame concerns.

The Department of Buildings has an active violation as of June 2023 regarding an external low-pressure inspection that was not filed. While the building has experienced periodic pest issues, recent bedbug reports from 2022 to 2024 show no current infestations. Historical rodent activity was documented in inspections from 2011 and 2015, though this appears to have been resolved given the absence of recent reports. The building's age and consistent maintenance challenges suggest ongoing needs for attention to basic infrastructure systems, particularly heating and electrical components.
