One thing this listing has going for it are the brownstone details, which are rare in Bushwick. The three-story house at 30 Linden Street is a fairly late Victorian, in the style of many Crown Heights buildings, with paneling and an ornate screen in the hall and elaborate plaster details in the hall and an apartment.
It will be delivered vacant, says the listing, but it needs work. There are six “Class A” units, and no C of O. It’s also a lis pendens. (There is also a long list of complaints against the landlord, including dozens from this year, and a judgement against him in 2009 for heat and hot water, as well as a pending court case about the same.)
The owner tried to sell in 2011 and 2012 but was unsuccessful. It’s being marketed as an investment property, and there is FAR for an addition. Given all this, though, we find the ask of $1,499,000 ambitious.

This block will, in all probably become part of a very deserving landmarks district in the not so distant future. Even with that in mind, the nearly $1.5 million asking price is not only ambitious, it’s downright crazy, though crazier things have happened.
I agree. Replace them with iPad charging stations.
