827 Lincoln Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The 6-unit, 3-story building at 827 Lincoln Place in Crown Heights, constructed in 1897 and currently owned by Franklin Edwards, has experienced several notable issues in recent years that may affect resident quality of life. Most significantly, there are four active Department of Buildings violations issued in June 2023 related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for the years 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2022.

While the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record demonstrating no infestation cases between 2019 and 2024, there was an annual violation notice issued in March 2023 regarding the late filing of the annual bedbug report, though the report has since been properly filed for the 2023-2024 period showing zero infested or eradicated units. The building has experienced some rodent-related issues, with mixed results in recent inspections.

After passing inspections in 2022, 2024, and 2025, there was evidence of rat activity noted in June 2023 and August 2023 inspections. A single rat sighting complaint in August 2022 was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene but did not result in any violations. The property has generally been diligent in addressing housing maintenance code requirements, as evidenced by its current and past compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, though there was a period of tardiness in 2023 that has since been corrected.
