487 Lincoln Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238
487 Lincoln Place is a 4-story, 31-unit residential building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Moshe Saurimpter and classified as a New Law Tenement. The property has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints registered between April and June 2025, including three emergency complaints in June alone. Inspection access was often not granted, though some complaints were closed after confirmation of resolution over the phone.
The building has documented life safety concerns, including a September 2024 violation for a defective electromagnetic locking device at the first-story vestibule door, and separate violations in August 2024 for inoperable smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in both apartments 2M and 4M. Two apartments experienced roach infestations, with a June 2024 violation citing these issues in both units. The elevator has been a recurring concern, with an active complaint from June 2025 regarding single device operation and previous violations resulting in penalties.
The building's management has faced challenges maintaining compliance with New York City's energy benchmarking requirements, with multiple violations documented between 2020 and 2022 for failure to file required reports and display energy efficiency scores. Recent inspections show ongoing pest management needs, with a rat activity result recorded in July 2025, though previous inspections had passed. Notably, the building has maintained an infestation-free status for bedbugs since 2020, with no units reported as infested in annual filings. While some violations from 2024 were resolved, including issues with smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, the consistent pattern of heat and hot water complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
