131 Linden Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

131 Linden Street, a 3-story, 4-unit residential building in Bushwick built in 1931 and formerly converted to Class A status, has experienced recurring maintenance challenges over recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heating and hot water issues, with three emergency complaints recorded between 2018 and 2024, though each was resolved before inspection confirmation. The building has also faced pest control issues, with the most recent complaint in January 2025 remaining unresolved due to inspection access issues.

The property has undergone several mandatory inspections, including rodent inspections, with the most recent in February 2025 passing successfully. Historical violations indicate ongoing safety and maintenance concerns, particularly from 2018 when issues were documented regarding door security, smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detectors, and unauthorized alterations in Apartment 4. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug control, with all annual reports from 2021 through 2025 showing no infestations or eradication efforts required.

Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024 and earlier reveal some areas requiring attention, including one current violation from December 2024 regarding a mattress encumbrance in the front yard. Various maintenance requests have been documented since 2018, covering electrical systems, door and window conditions, and general building maintenance, though many were closed without violations being issued. The Department of Buildings has recorded at least one complaint regarding defective electrical wiring in October 2018, though inspection access was not granted. While the property has experienced periodic maintenance challenges, particularly in heating systems and pest control, recent records show improvements in rodent control and consistent bedbug management.
