235 Lincoln Road, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The three-story, three-unit building at 235 Lincoln Road in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, currently owned by Joyce Gabriel, has experienced persistent maintenance and hygiene issues over recent years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing problem with pests, with multiple Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) complaints filed between 2023 and 2024, including two unsanitary condition complaints specifically about pests in June 2024 that could not be inspected due to lack of access.

In November 2023, an HPD inspection found violations related to pest infestation, particularly citing roaches in Apartment 2, along with issues of broken plaster and defective paint surfaces in that unit. More recent complaints in June 2024 included concerns about garbage/recycling storage that HPD was unable to inspect, and though there was a rodent inspection in August 2024 that passed, an initial inspection in July 2024 failed for "Other Reasons." The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with hygiene and living conditions, with several open violations currently on record. These include a 2024 violation related to not filing the annual bedbug report as required by HPD rules, and a 2023 violation specifically targeting roach infestation in Apartment 2.

Prior to these recent issues, the building faced heat and hot water access problems in March 2021, though inspectors were again unable to gain access for verification. The property has undergone multiple inspections over the years, with varying results, including passed inspections in 2012 and 2014, indicating some fluctuations in building condition and compliance. While some past violations have been addressed, the persistence of recent complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort.
