495 Lincoln Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238
The 31-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 495 Lincoln Place in Crown Heights, owned by Moshe Saurimpter, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past eight years. Most recently, in August 2024, violations were documented concerning door issues and ceiling conditions, particularly affecting Apartment 2N, which required multiple repairs including door replacement and ceiling repainting to meet housing code standards. This followed a period of complaints from 2021-2022 regarding various maintenance issues including plumbing problems, appliance concerns, and heat/hot water complaints, with several instances where inspectors were unable to gain access to verify conditions.
A notable emergency situation arose in 2024 with fire damage reported in Apartment 1E, which required attention. The building's infrastructure has faced recurring challenges, particularly with heating systems, as evidenced by multiple heat and hot water complaints in 2019-2020, though residents reported restoration of services in each instance. The property has undergone several rodent inspections between 2020 and 2025, with most recent inspections passing successfully, indicating improved pest control management.
Elevator service has also been a concern, with complaints in 2020 and 2021 regarding single device service and no alternate service, though inspections did not find violations at the time. While the building has maintained a zero-record for bedbug infestations in recent years (2020-2024), there have been multiple violations related to building energy reporting requirements, specifically regarding the failure to file benchmarking reports and display energy scores, though some of these violations were subsequently dismissed or resolved. The property has shown some recent improvements in maintaining compliance with housing codes, as evidenced by the closure of multiple recent violations, though the building's age and history suggest ongoing maintenance will be required to address various systems and infrastructure needs.
