Back is generally pretty hard to impossible to train without equipment. You could do rows with a backpack / other household objects or elastic bands with a contraption that anchors behind a door so you can do pull downs.

You can try to find a nice fat reinforced pipe in the parking deck near you ;), or get one of those pull up bars that attach above the door frame.

If you're looking for a good workout setup for home with minimal equipment, try the TRX suspension training system. You can anchor it behind a door and do a full body workout using body weight. It fits in a small bag so it's mobile and allows you to anchor it at a bar in the nearest park and do outdoor exercises.
