Linden General Hospital was "a 78-bed private health facility in a rundown part of Brooklyn's East New York section." [1] It was a "two-story brick" building located at 501 New Lots Avenue.
The building previously housed Riverdale Hospital. [2]
Linden General Hospital was founded as a privately owned hospital in 1933, and sold twice, once to a dentist, the second time to two doctors. Fees for service to patients from Medicaid and Medicare [1] comprised "most of" their income. [3] Due to various lackings, [1] the hospital lost accreditation and subsequently funding. [3] It subsequently closed, [4] and the 1920-built building [5] became a homeless shelter. [6]
For "life-threatening fire and health violations", [4] Linden General lost certification and funding [1] but this situation, due to insufficient coordination among Federal, state and city oversight authorities, did not lead to an immediate closure. One factor was that the state "did not have legal jurisdiction over proprietary hospitals in the city" were initially observed. Following "lengthy legal battles in which the state was hampered by lack of staff" the hospital closed.

Patient dumping or homeless dumping is the practice of hospitals and emergency services inappropriately releasing homeless or indigent patients to public hospitals or on the streets instead of placing them with a homeless shelter or retaining them, especially when they may require expensive medical care with minimal government reimbursement from Medicaid or Medicare. The term homeless dumping has been used since the late 19th century and resurfaced throughout the 20th century alongside legislation and policy changes aimed at addressing the issue. Studies of the issue have indicated mixed results from the United States' policy interventions and have proposed varying ideas to remedy the problem.
