Tenants in a four-story apartment building on Linden Boulevard in East Flatbush are voicing serious concerns about their living conditions. Issues include collapsed ceilings, plumbing leaks, and pest infestations. Many tenants have spent their own money on temporary repairs due to ongoing problems.
