311 Lincoln Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

311 Lincoln Place is a 4-story, 31-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1923, currently owned by Maggie Brunn. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout 2025, with multiple HPD complaints and violations including electrical problems (lighting), pest infestations, and water leaks. Most notably, Apartment 12A has documented violations from December 2024 involving roach infestations, water leaks, and various maintenance issues including floor damage and problems with kitchen fixtures. The building has also faced challenges with heating and hot water systems, as evidenced by emergency complaints in March 2025.

Recent inspections and violations indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, including an active rat infestation as of July 2025, with prior rat activity recorded in October 2023. The building's ventilation and lighting systems have required attention, with violations issued in 2025. Other building concerns documented in 2024-2025 include issues with flooring, stairways, door/window maintenance, and various unsanitary conditions. While some complaints from 2025 have been resolved within a reasonable timeframe, including heating issues and certain unsanitary conditions, others remain ongoing. The building has undergone multiple rodent inspections over the years, with variable results between 'Passed' and 'Rat Activity' findings, suggesting that pest management has been an ongoing concern.

The property has experienced periodic pest issues, with documented bedbug infestations in 2021-2022 affecting two units, though subsequent reports from 2022-2024 show no new infestations. A notable ECB violation in 2022 involved blocked egress due to storage issues in stairwells, resulting in a $1,250 fine. The building's management has generally responded to complaints, as evidenced by HPD inspections, though some violations remain open or were only partially addressed. An illegal conversion complaint from 2022 resulted in an inspector being unable to gain access for verification. While the property has a history of various maintenance and health-related issues, there is evidence of ongoing inspections and some level of management response to address these problems.
