Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The 3-story, 6-unit residential building at 17-29 Linden Street in Ridgewood, owned by 1729 Linden LLC, has experienced persistent heat and hot water system issues over recent years, with a total of 15 emergency complaints registered through 311 between 2024 and 2026. Of particular concern are six documented heat/hot water complaints in 2025-2026, all affecting the entire building and classified as emergencies. The building's maintenance record reveals multiple housing violations, including two Class C violations from January 2026 related to door self-closing mechanisms at the building's front entrance and vestibule. More troubling are the four active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations from 2023 to 2025, all pertaining to low-pressure boiler requirements and the failure to file external inspections for the years 2021-2024, suggesting potential maintenance oversight of critical building systems.

Good Cause Eviction

Is 17-29 Linden Street covered by Good Cause Eviction?

New York's Good Cause Eviction law (effective April 20, 2024) gives many market-rate tenants the right to renew their lease and challenge rent hikes above the annual local rent standard. It doesn't apply to every building.

Likely not covered. This building appears to be exempt from Good Cause Eviction for the reason below.
  • Small landlord. This landlord owns about 6 units across 1 building in our records — at or below the 10-unit small-landlord threshold.

Good Cause also excludes condos & co-ops, subsidized/regulated housing, and units renting above 245% of Fair Market Rent — signals we can't always confirm from public data. Not legal advice. Learn more at nyc.gov or call 311 for the Tenant Helpline.
