269 Linden Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The 6-unit, 3-story New Law tenement building at 269 Linden Street in Bushwick, owned by Gal Sela, has experienced significant pest-related issues over the past few years, particularly concerning rodent activity. Between 2023 and 2024, there were multiple documented cases of rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents, with repeated inspections showing ongoing rat activity even as recently as 2025. The building also faced challenges in 2023 with unsanitary conditions related to pests, though one HPD inspection did not find violations.
More concerning are the open violations from February 2023 relating to Apartment 1, which include issues with heating, hot water, gas supply, and various surface repairs needed in the kitchen and bathroom. The property has a history of compliance issues that extends back to 2019, when an illegal cellar conversion was documented, including unauthorized construction of partition walls, bathroom installation, and rough plumbing work. This resulted in an Environmental Control Board violation, though the penalty was ultimately dismissed.
Recent maintenance records show some progress, with the building passing rodent inspections in 2025, and the most recent bedbug report for 2025 showing no infestations. However, several maintenance and condition issues remain, as evidenced by the open violations regarding repair and maintenance issues in Apartment 1. The building's heating system, gas supply, and various surface conditions in Apartment 1 were all cited as requiring attention during inspections in 2023.
