218 Linden Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11226

This six-story, 41-unit apartment building at 218 Linden Boulevard in East Flatbush, owned by Stella Vasilantonakis and constructed in 1935, has experienced a series of maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024-2025. Most concerning is the building's persistent water-related problems, with multiple complaints about leaks and dampness occurring between March and April 2025, including a heavy flow water leak that resulted in violations. The property has also faced challenges with mold and unsanitary conditions, with two emergency complaints about mold submitted in 2025.

Additionally, there are several open violations from a December 2024 inspection of apartment 5G, including issues with missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, a broken floor near the bathroom, insect infestations (cockroaches and mice), and concerns about a door leading to the fire escape. The building's elevator service has been a significant concern, with numerous complaints filed between 2023-2024 about the single-device elevator being out of service. This issue resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board violations and penalties.

The property has also accrued multiple active violations regarding energy benchmarking and efficiency requirements, including failure to file necessary reports and display energy efficiency scores, with some dating back to 2019. Recent inspections in early 2025 revealed various maintenance issues, including problems with paint/plaster on walls and ceilings, door issues, and water leaks, though not all inspections resulted in violations. Despite these challenges, the building's bedbug reporting history shows no infestations in recent years, and rodent control efforts have been documented throughout 2024, with bait application records indicating ongoing pest management efforts.
