36 Linden Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
36 Linden Street is a 4-story, 38-unit residential tenement building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and owned by Terrence Lowenberg. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly in the winter months of 2024-2025, with numerous complaints filed between December 2024 and January 2025, though inspections often faced access issues. More recently, in June 2025, there was a reported electric power outage that also faced inspection access challenges.
The building underwent significant violations in 2023-2025, including multiple instances of heat and hot water emergencies in winter 2024-2025, and the presence of mold was documented in multiple units (C2 in 2023, 4D in 2024). Safety-related violations were noted, particularly in apartment 8D in December 2024, covering issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide devices, and window repairs, though these were subsequently certified as corrected. The building's maintenance history shows attention to various infrastructure issues, with immediate responses to emergencies, including a plumbing issue in November 2024 and multiple heat-related interventions. While there have been documented rodent activity inspections (notably in 2021 and 2024), recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passed successfully.
The property has shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements for the past five years, with no reported infestations. Historical complaints from 2018-2021 indicate various concerns including construction-related issues and electrical wiring concerns, though most were found to have no violations at the time of inspection. The building had some documented instances of violation notices being issued, including an incident in 2018 involving removal of a posted vacate order, though this was resolved. Recent DOB violations regarding energy efficiency reporting and an inspection-related issue from 2023 were dismissed.
