572 Lincoln Place, Brooklyn, NY 11216

The four-story, 11-unit New Law Tenement building at 572 Lincoln Place in Crown Heights, owned by Mohamed Rabah, has experienced several significant issues over the past few years, most notably regarding water and mold problems. In early 2025, the building received multiple complaints about a slow water leak and mold, which were closed without resolution as HPD inspection attempts were unsuccessful. The building has a troubling history of heat and hot water issues, particularly during 2019, when multiple complaints were filed and responded to, though heat and water were reported as restored in each instance.

A serious incident occurred in late 2019 when fire damage affected apartments 2A, 3A, and 4A/B, resulting in multiple violations that were later resolved. The building's maintenance history shows recurring unsanitary conditions and pest problems, with a rodent inspection in 2025 recording a "Passed" status following previous "Failed" scores in 2023-2024, and multiple bait applications noted in late 2023. Recent regulatory activity includes an open Department of Buildings complaint from 2025 regarding possible illegal conversion, though inspection attempts were unsuccessful.

The building's record shows consistent bedbug reporting with zero infestations recorded in recent years, and multiple permits were issued between 2018-2020 for various work. Violations from 2020 related to failure to certify corrections for immediately hazardous conditions were dismissed by the ECB. The property has passed recent rodent inspections (2025 and 2024), though there were periods of rodent activity noted in 2023, and while the bedbug situation appears under control based on recent filings, the recurring water and mold issues in 2025 suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
