77 Linden Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

At 77 Linden Street in Bushwick, a 4-story, 10-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Abraham Schwartz, several significant maintenance issues have emerged over recent years, particularly regarding heating systems. The most recent concerns involve a rodent sighting in June 2025 (which resulted in violations requiring follow-up inspections), and a series of heat and hot water complaints in early 2025, with violations issued in January. The building experienced multiple heating system issues throughout 2024-2025, generating multiple complaints and requiring HPD inspections, though some complaints were either duplicate reports or resolved before inspection.

Notably, the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting history, showing no recorded infestations or eradications in the past five reporting periods (2021-2025), with compliance inspections typically passing. The property has faced various maintenance challenges, including a significant water leak incident in 2022 and multiple housing maintenance code violations. In 2022, violations were documented in apartments 3A and 4B, including issues with bathroom tiles, door closures, and pest infestations.

While the building's rodent inspection results from 2021-2025 show generally passing grades, the recent June 2025 rodent sighting is a notable exception. The building's management has complied with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, with all filings showing zero infested units. The property's violation history includes mandatory annual bedbug report filings in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, though no active violations were recorded as of the most recent inspection dates.
