188 Linden Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11226
The 4-story, 35-unit tenement building at 188 Linden Boulevard in East Flatbush, owned by Shaul Kapelowitz, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over the past two years, particularly regarding heating systems. From December 2024 through early 2025, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water outages affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though inspections typically found the systems had been restored by the time of evaluation. In addition to heating problems, there have been persistent issues with sanitation and pest management.
The most recent complaints in 2025 involved unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage and wall maintenance, while rodent control measures have been repeatedly implemented through 2024-2025, with multiple inspections showing rat activity. The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges within a single apartment - 3F - during 2024, where multiple violations were documented including issues with mold, electrical systems, plumbing fixtures, and general maintenance of walls and doors. While these violations were ultimately closed with certifications of correction, they suggest substantial maintenance needs within the building.
The property has a documented history of bedbug infestations between 2019 and 2024, though recent filings indicate no current issues. Additionally, several complaints regarding alleged illegal conversions and unauthorized commercial use of the property have been investigated between 2019 and 2024, though inspectors were unable to confirm any violations. An active violation from 2021 regarding the failure to display energy efficiency information remains unresolved as of the latest data review.
