57 Lincoln Road, Brooklyn, NY 11225

57 Lincoln Road, a 6-story, 79-unit New Law Tenement built in 1925 and currently owned by A Wizniter, has experienced several concerning issues in recent months. Between May and June 2025, the building faced multiple urgent safety and maintenance concerns, including problems with cooking gas (3 complaints), multiple smoke detector violations (4 complaints), an unsanitary condition related to pests, and a heavy water leak. While some of these issues were inspected by HPD and violations were issued, there have been instances where inspectors could not gain access to complete their evaluations.

Notably, the building's safety systems have been under scrutiny, with recent violations related to smoke detectors and a continued open complaint regarding electrical wiring as of July 2025. The building has a documented history of pest control challenges, including a recorded bedbug infestation in 2025, though previous instances from 2023-2024 have shown successful eradication. Rodent activity has been an ongoing concern, with several inspections between 2021 and 2025 revealing either rat activity or requiring bait application, though recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed.

The property has also experienced various maintenance issues, as evidenced by violations identified in 2024 affecting Apartment A11, including problems with heat supply, floor condition, and pest infestations. While some of these violations were certified as corrected by late 2024, the building continues to face challenges with basic services. A currently active elevator-related complaint from June 2025 suggests potential accessibility concerns, and the recent history of cooking gas and safety system violations raises questions about the reliability of essential building infrastructure.
