Augrented Insights Report for 291 Lincoln Place

291 Lincoln Place is a 4-story, 29-unit residential building in Prospect Heights, built in 1915 and currently owned by Gideon Platt. The building has experienced several recurring issues in recent years, particularly related to door and window conditions. In 2025 alone, there were multiple HPD complaints and violations regarding doors and door frames, some of which were classified as emergencies. The property has also faced heat/hot water issues in late 2024, with two complaints in October and November, though heat and hot water were reportedly restored when inspectors arrived.

A cluster of violations documented in September 2024 revealed problems in a single apartment (C5) including plumbing issues and a reported mouse infestation, though these violations were certified as corrected by October 2024. The building has significant safety equipment concerns, with an active violation from 2024 regarding defective fire door hinges at the 4th story leading to the roof. The property's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and recurring issues. In 2024, multiple violations were issued for the 4th story public hall stairs, including problems with leaking ceilings, skylight glass, fire-retardant plaster, and ceiling paint.

The building's electrical systems have been a point of concern, with several ECB violations in 2022 related to improper wiring and electrical equipment, though these were resolved with penalties. Historical data shows consistent rodent control compliance, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 passing. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past seven years. Recent inspections of elevator and boiler systems in 2022-2025 generally resulted in no violations being found, though there have been past complaints about these systems. While the property has shown regular maintenance and correction of most violations, the pattern of recurring door/window issues and recent heat/hot water problems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
