283 Linden Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 283 Linden Street in Bushwick, owned by Arne Schnitger and built in 1931, has experienced several notable pest-related challenges over recent years. Most recently, the building passed its rodent inspection in May 2025, following a pattern of inspections indicating improvement in pest management.

However, there have been recurring issues with rodent activity, with initial inspections in May 2024, November 2022, and May 2022 all documenting rat activity, though subsequent inspections generally resulted in passing grades. The building had documented pest-related complaints in November 2019, specifically regarding unsanitary conditions and pests, which were promptly investigated and resolved by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development. While the building has faced challenges with pests, including receiving Class A violations in 2022 and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, more recent filings show a marked absence of infestations.

From 2021 through the current reporting period (2023-2024), all bedbug reports show zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. The building's most recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 indicate an improving trend in pest management. The property's documented housing maintenance history suggests that while there have been persistent pest issues in the past, particularly with rodents, recent inspections and reporting periods indicate better management of these challenges, with no active violations currently on record as of May 2025.
