131 Lincoln Road, Brooklyn, NY 11225

131 Lincoln Road is a 6-story, 62-unit residential building constructed in 1931 in the Prospect-Lefferts Gardens neighborhood, currently owned by Necha Schwartz. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly related to heat/hot water systems and interior conditions. In 2025 alone, there have been multiple complaints about heat/hot water, door/window problems, and unsanitary conditions including pest issues.

The third-floor apartment 3K has been a focal point for multiple housing code violations, including problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, door issues, and evidence of rodent and insect infestations, though these violations were eventually resolved through HPD inspections. The building has had several heat/hot water complaints throughout 2024 and 2025, with some cases of no heat recorded, though HPD inspections have often found that conditions had been restored by the time of their investigation. Additional concerns include drainage issues, as indicated by active complaints in 2024-2025 regarding water retention and improper drainage. The building has a history of pest control challenges, with multiple bedbug reports between 2020 and 2024 showing fluctuations in infestation levels, though recent filings indicate no current issues.

Rodent inspections have shown variable results, with a fails in March 2023 and passed inspections in November 2023 and previous years. During 2024, the building received several HPD violations for wall and ceiling conditions requiring repairs and addressing sanitary concerns. A standing water issue in 2024 resulted in a summons to the owner. The building's elevator system received attention in 2020 for having no alternate service during repairs, and there were multiple elevator-related violations in 2020, including problems with the phone system and door operation.
