315 Lincoln Road, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The 8-unit, 4-story tenement building at 315 Lincoln Road in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, built in 1908 and currently owned by Errol Morgan, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, particularly related to heating systems. Most notably, there have been three emergency heat/hot water complaints in the last two years (December 2023, October 2024) regarding the entire building, though in each instance, inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct an inspection. Additionally, there were two cooking gas complaints in 2024 that required emergency attention but similarly could not be inspected due to access issues.

The building has an active violation for failing to file annual boiler inspection reports for 2021 and 2022, and a previous issue from 2021 regarding an unregistered boiler that resulted in a $625 penalty. Safety-related violations include several concerning incidents from 2021, particularly in Apartment 7, where smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector issues were documented as open violations. There have also been issues with building safety, including obstructed fire escapes due to household items on balconies, and missing or defective window guards in Apartment 3. While the building's bedbug report for 2022-2023 indicates no infestation, the property has a history of rat activity based on rodent inspections conducted in 2018.

The most recent bedbug report for 2024 shows zero infested units, suggesting effective management of this issue in recent years. The building's record shows a pattern of maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat systems and safety equipment, with multiple instances of inspection access being denied. While some violations have been resolved, including those from 2021 regarding emergency repairs and fixture replacements, several open violations remained as of the most recent inspection data, particularly concerning the building's boiler systems and safety equipment. The property has demonstrated improved management of bedbug issues, with the most recent reports showing no active infestations.
