423 Lincoln Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

At 423 Lincoln Place in Crown Heights, a six-unit New Law tenement built in 1907, the most pressing current issues relate to multiple open violations concerning the building's external low-pressure system inspections as of September 2024. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three separate complaints in March 2023 and multiple incidents in January 2020, though some of these were resolved with restoration of services. A slow water leak complaint from May 2024 remains notable, as HPD was unable to gain access for inspection.

The building's mechanical systems have shown persistent problems, with three active ECB violations from 2019-2020 related to boiler issues, including improper installation and venting concerns, resulting in significant penalties. Recent rodent inspections show mixed results, with the latest in July 2025 indicating rat activity, following a passed inspection in May 2024. The property has a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly during the winter months, with several complaints about no lighting (2020), various electrical issues, and sanitation concerns in common areas.

Multiple housing maintenance code violations are open from 2024-2020 regarding required postings and documentation in the public hall areas, including bedbug reporting requirements, gas leak procedures, smoke detector requirements, and housing information guide notices. Additionally, the building has experienced some infrastructure issues with doors/windows (2020) and plumbing problems (2020), though not all inspections resulted in violations. The Department of Buildings records reveal some historical compliance issues regarding vent/exhaust systems (2019), and various emergency complaints have been filed over the years, though many were closed without violations being issued. Regular rodent inspections since 2017 show generally passing results, with the exception of the latest July 2025 inspection.
