274 Linden Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story New Law tenement building at 274 Linden Street in Bushwick, owned by Louise Trapp, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there is a persistent pattern of violations related to bedbug reporting compliance, with four consecutive violations from 2021 through 2024 (April 2024 being the most recent) indicating that the building has not filed the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code.

This ongoing violation represents a significant lapse in addressing resident health and safety requirements. The building's rodent control record shows a troubling pattern as well, though with some recent improvements.

While 2025 inspections have recently passed, there were multiple instances of rat activity documented between 2022 and 2024, including an initial inspection with rat activity in March 2023 and February 2023. Following this period of rodent issues, there appears to be some improvement, with passed inspections in 2024 and 2025, suggesting potential remediation efforts may have been effective. The building, constructed in 1931, has maintained a consistent three-unit structure over the years, though the persistent nature of both bedbug reporting violations and rodent activity raises concerns about ongoing maintenance practices, even with recent improvements in rodent control compliance.
