833 Lincoln Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The two-family house at 833 Lincoln Place in Crown Heights, owned by Mr. Cooper, has experienced a series of concerning maintenance issues over the past two years.

Most notably, from late 2023 through April 2024, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water problems, with three separate incidents reported in 2024 alone where inspectors were unable to access the apartments for verification. The building has also faced significant electrical issues, including a power outage in April 2024 and instances of no lighting in February 2024, all of which were classified as emergency situations. Between February and March 2024, there were multiple plumbing-related complaints, including problems with the toilet, water supply, and sink/basin, as well as a heavy water leak, most of which inspectors were unable to access and verify during their visits.

The building's history includes a potentially serious illegal conversion complaint filed in November 2019, though this case was closed in April 2020 due to no access being granted for inspection. Additionally, a construction enforcement complaint from February 2022 resulted in an Oath violation being served. Given the pattern of maintenance issues in 2024, particularly regarding essential services like heat and water, and the consistent inability of inspectors to access the building during these emergencies, this property appears to have persistent infrastructure challenges that may affect resident comfort and safety.
