493 Lincoln Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238
493 Lincoln Place is a 4-story, 31-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1920 in Crown Heights, currently owned by Moshe Saurimpter. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past two years, with multiple emergency complaints filed between December 2024 and April 2025, some of which resulted in HPD being unable to gain access for inspection. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including a plumbing issue in March 2025, problems with an electric/gas range in March 2025, and multiple elevator service complaints between 2020-2024.
Notable violations were issued in December 2024 concerning safety equipment in Apartment 1E, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as security concerns with the vestibule door lock system. The building has shown some concerning patterns in maintenance history, particularly regarding pest control, with active violations in June 2024 for roach and mouse infestations in Apartment 1B, and window guard issues noted in Apartment 3I. While the property has consistently passed recent rodent inspections from 2022 through 2025, including a July 2025 inspection, there were earlier failures recorded in 2018.
The elevator system has been a repeated source of tenant concern, with numerous complaints filed between 2020 and 2024, though inspections generally found no violations. The building's management has faced challenges maintaining compliance with energy reporting requirements, with active violations noted from 2021 regarding benchmarking report submissions and energy efficiency displays. However, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five years (2019-2024).
