273 Linden Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

273 Linden Street is a three-story, six-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Janell Bynoe and located in Bushwick. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most recent concerns centered around heat and hot water problems. Two emergency complaints in February 2025 about heat/hot water were filed and marked as closed, though one was noted as a duplicate of an existing building-wide issue.

In 2024, multiple maintenance issues were reported involving water leaks, unsanitary conditions (pests), plumbing problems, plumbing fixtures, doors/windows, and an inoperable bell/buzzer/intercom system. These complaints were clustered around September 2024 and August 2024, and though the HPD attempted to inspect these issues, access was not granted in several instances, leading to complaint closures and recommendations for tenants to refile if problems persisted. The building's documented history shows persistent structural and safety concerns, particularly affecting the third floor (Apartment 3BL) as of September 2024, where multiple violations were noted including problems with plastered surfaces, roof leaks, defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and an infestation of mice.

The property has maintained a relatively consistent record regarding bedbug reports, with no documented infestations reported in the past five years. Rodent inspections have shown fluctuating results, with multiple instances of rat activity reported between 2022 and 2024, though most recent inspections in 2025 and late 2024 passed. The current housing maintenance code violations from 2024 remain open as of the latest data, indicating ongoing repair needs that have not yet been addressed.
