101 Lincoln Road, Brooklyn, NY 11225

Located in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, 101 Lincoln Road is a 6-story, 83-unit residential building constructed in 1938 and currently owned by Demetrios Demetriades. The property has experienced multiple significant maintenance issues in recent months, particularly during May 2025, when there were documented problems with a water leak (heavy flow), multiple instances of unsanitary conditions related to pests, and various plumbing and heating issues, all of which resulted in violations being issued by HPD. The building has a history of pest-related problems, with violations recorded in Apt 4J in late 2024 involving both mice and roach infestations, and recurring pest service requests throughout 2025. Four separate unsanitary condition complaints related to pests were filed in May 2025 alone, and the building has undergone multiple rodent inspections, typically resulting in failures for various reasons between 2018-2023.

The building's infrastructure and maintenance status has raised several concerns, including multiple heating and hot water complaints in May 2025, and documented violations for a broken or defective bathtub/shower in 2025 (with some plumbing issues appearing to persist). A comprehensive inspection in late 2024 cited various violations across multiple apartments, including broken plaster surfaces in Apt 3K's bathroom, defective self-closing doors in Apt 2H, and window counterbalance issues in Apt 4N. The property has also experienced elevator-related problems, with multiple complaints and investigations between 2024-2025, though most were closed with "No Violation Warranted" findings. Notably, there appears to be an active compliance job related to Local Law 188/17 initiated in April 2024.

The building's recent history includes a significant emergency violation regarding an inadequate sprinkler system in the laundry room (April 2024), for which a penalty of $3,125 was imposed. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs in recent years (with zero reported infestations since 2019), the persistent issues with heating, plumbing, and pest control suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has generated multiple Department of Buildings complaints in recent years, including investigations regarding possible illegal conversions, with most cases resulting in no violations being found. Regular inspections and maintenance compliance checks are evident through various paperwork, including permits for elevator work issued in 2019 and 2020. The building's history suggests ongoing efforts to address safety and maintenance issues, though many problems appear to persist or recur, as demonstrated by the clustering of 311 service requests and violations in 2025.
