Augrented Insights Report for 553 Lincoln Place

The four-story, 16-unit tenement building at 553 Lincoln Place in Crown Heights, owned by Richard Sica and constructed in 1911, has experienced a number of concerning maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints in October 2024, including attempts by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) to inspect the entire building. Other significant issues include repeated water leak problems (with heavy flow reported in both March and October 2024), multiple instances of mold (including violations issued in July 2024), and ventilation system concerns.

The building underwent inspections in apartments 1D and 2D in late 2024 that revealed various violations, including issues with water leaks, mold, plaster surfaces, and carbon monoxide detectors, though most of these violations were certified as resolved by November 2024. The property has also shown some pest management challenges, with rat activity recorded during multiple inspections in 2022-2023, though recent inspections in 2024-2025 passed. Historically, the building has maintained an active record of addressing pest control, with consistent bedbug reporting showing no infestations since 2019.

While there were several complaints about work without permits recorded in 2020, inspections did not warrant any violations at that time. The most recent notable violation is from June 2023 regarding failure to file for an external low pressure inspection, which remains active. Recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed, indicating improved pest management. The building's overall history shows periodic maintenance challenges, particularly regarding water-related issues and interior conditions, though many recent violations have been addressed through certification.
