290 Lincoln Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238

290 Lincoln Place is a 4-story, 19-unit New Law Tenement building located in Prospect Heights, built in 1922 and currently owned by Michael Niamonitakis. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water throughout 2024-2025, with multiple complaints recorded in January, February, April, and May 2025, including instances of both apartment-specific and building-wide outages.

The property has also faced significant water supply issues, with multiple plumbing complaints since April 2025, though inspections were often unable to be completed due to access issues. The building's maintenance record shows several violations requiring attention, including those related to hot water supply in apartment D1 and heating system access in 2024, along with safety concerns regarding roof access doors. The building's health and safety inspections reveal ongoing rodent activity, with multiple reports of rat sightings and failed compliance inspections between 2020 and 2025, though a "Passed" inspection in June 2023 provides some contrast.

Interior maintenance issues have been documented, particularly in apartment C3 (2023-2024) regarding paint conditions, and in apartment C5 (2024) concerning water leaks and defective plastered surfaces. Notably, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record from 2019 to present, with no reported infestations in any units. While some violations have been regularly addressed, the pattern of heating and water supply issues, particularly in recent months, stands out as a significant recurring concern for residents.
