139 Lincoln Place, Brooklyn, NY 11217

139 Lincoln Place is a three-story, four-unit residential building located in Park Slope, Brooklyn, constructed in 1881 and currently owned by Jason Sakow. The property has experienced several significant events over the past decade, including multiple complaints about unauthorized work in 2021 and 2023, with inspectors unable to gain access during several of these inspections. In 2021, two specific violations were recorded regarding unpermitted construction, including a steel shed and unsupported scaffold, though these were subsequently resolved with no penalties imposed.

The building has demonstrated good pest control management, as evidenced by its bedbug reports from 2021 to 2024 showing zero infested or re-infested units, with reports consistently filed on time. Recent inspections in 2024 revealed an outstanding violation related to the filing of an annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been resolved shortly thereafter, as subsequent filings through 2024 show no infestation issues. The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with rat presence confirmed in November 2011, though a subsequent inspection later that month found compliance.

More recently, in 2025, there was a complaint about sidewalk shed conditions that was investigated but resulted in no violations being warranted. The building's permit history shows at least one issued permit in 2018 for electrical work (JOB# 320146141), though the specific scope of work is not detailed in the available data. While the building's recent inspection and violation history suggests generally good maintenance practices, the pattern of inspection access issues in 2021 and multiple citation patterns warrants attention, particularly as they relate to resident safety and compliance with building codes.
