About this building

City records list 1924 as the year built — older than 72% of the 1,204 buildings we cover in ZIP 11221. At 6 floors, the tallest of the 7 buildings we cover on this block. The building’s floor space is 4.3 times the size of its lot: 49,913 sq ft of building on an 11,500 sq ft lot. 54 apartments — more than 96% of the 1,207 residential buildings we cover in ZIP 11221 have.

Comparisons with neighboring buildings, as of October 28, 2026.

A difference between the DHCR rent-stabilized count and the PLUTO total is common and does not, on its own, indicate a violation: units can leave rent stabilization legally, the two datasets count units differently, some units may be non-residential, and a registration can be filed incompletely. To check your own apartment, see how to request your rent history from DHCR.

44 Linden Street sits in Brooklyn, ZIP 11221. The closest subway is Gates Av (J,Z) (2-minute walk), served by the J and Z lines.

What's the closest subway to 44 Linden Street?
Gates Av (J,Z) — a 2-minute walk (167m) from 44 Linden Street. Served by the J and Z lines.
Is 44 Linden Street subject to lead-paint regulations?
Yes — built in 1924, before NYC's 1960 lead-paint cutoff. Annual inspections are required for units with children under 6. Source: NYC Local Law 1.

Lead Paint Exposure

1 open lead-paint hazard violation on record (most recent 2006). These are HPD violations recorded against the building — not a test of any specific apartment.

16 earlier hazards cited and remediated.

Under NYC Local Law 1 (Admin Code §27-2056.5), lead paint is presumed present in common areas and in apartments where a child under 6 resides, in multiple dwellings built before 1960 (this building: built 1924). The presumption stands unless the owner obtained a lead-free or lead-safe exemption from HPD. Those exemption records aren’t published as open data, so we can’t confirm one either way.
