Generally, since nothing from standard OS X installs lives in /usr/local, it's okay to have it owned by your user.
So, you could just type:
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local
Or if you want it specific to /usr/local/bin:
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/bin
Also, your permission modes are off—ideally /usr/local/bin should be accessible by others too:
sudo chmod -R u=rwX,go=rX /usr/local/bin
