14 Lincoln Place, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The 4-story, 8-unit tenement building at 14 Lincoln Place in Park Slope, owned by Taub Swartz and constructed in 1920, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning incidents occurring in 2021. During September 2021, multiple complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions, including mold and inadequate garbage/recycling storage, resulting in violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The building faced recurring heat and hot water issues during late 2020 and early 2021, with three separate complaints between December 2020 and January 2021, though heat and hot water were reported to have been restored in each instance.

An elevator maintenance complaint was also filed in September 2021, though inspectors could not gain access to inspect the reported condition. The building's violation history reveals some additional concerns, including a certified violation in September 2021 regarding mold on the east wall in the first cellar and another violation concerning raw sewage conditions throughout the cellar. In 2019, there were documented heating system violations affecting unit 1R, which is located on the third story.

The property has maintained an active bedbug monitoring record from 2020 through 2024, with no reported infestations in any unit during this period, and it passed rodent inspections in 2018. Two plumbing-related permits were issued in 2018-2019, indicating some maintenance work has been carried out on the building's systems. The building currently shows no outstanding violations or emergency complaints as of the latest available data, though the previous pattern of heating and maintenance issues, particularly in 2020-2021, is notable.
