70 Linden Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11226

70 Linden Boulevard is a 6-story, 41-unit Class A apartment building constructed in 1937, currently owned by 70 Linden Realty, LLC. The building has experienced ongoing maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in 2025, including multiple incidents of mold (April and May), a slow water leak (May), and a cooking gas issue (May). In early 2025 alone, there were seven separate complaints requiring HPD inspections, though many of these inspections were either incomplete or resulted in no findings of housing law violations.

The building's maintenance history shows recurrent plumbing issues, particularly with sinks and bathtubs, as evidenced by multiple plumbing-related complaints from 2024 to 2025. The property has also faced structural and safety concerns, including violations documented in 2024 for various issues in the 4th and 6th-story public areas, such as defective self-closing doors and fire-retardant plaster concerns. Notably, there were serious electrical safety violations in 2018, including exposed wiring in Apartment 1B, which resulted in fines and required correction notices.

While the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record, recent filings from 2023-2025 show no current infestations. The property has experienced ongoing rodent inspections between 2014 and 2018, with some failing inspections due to rat activity. Recent maintenance patterns indicate persistent challenges with basic infrastructure systems, including plumbing, electrical, and sanitation, particularly in common areas. The building's ventilation and air quality issues, particularly related to mold, appear to be a recurring problem, as evidenced by multiple mold-related complaints over recent months.
