1253 Lincoln Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

1253 Lincoln Place is a three-story, 10-unit New Law Tenement building located in Crown Heights and owned by Jacob Zimmer. The building, constructed in 1908, has experienced recurring issues with essential services in recent years, particularly during 2022 when there were multiple complaints and violations related to heat/hot water systems and power outages. Notable incidents include two separate heat/hot water complaints in March 2022, a power outage in March 2022, and plumbing/water supply issues in November 2022 that required HPD intervention and resulted in violations.

The building has undergone several safety-related inspections and received violations requiring attention to life-safety systems, including smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and window guards. In June 2022, violations were issued for defective smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 7, though these were subsequently certified as corrected. The building's maintenance history shows attention to various systems, with some persistent issues being addressed through multiple service requests, such as problems with electric/gas ranges and ventilation systems noted in 2021.

Recent history indicates improving conditions, with no bedbug infestations reported in the most recent five annual filings (2021-2024), and a passed rodent inspection from June 2018. The most recent housing maintenance code violation inspection occurred in 2022, revealing issues in Apartments 5 and 7 requiring attention to safety systems and general maintenance. While the building has experienced recurring service issues, particularly in 2022, the absence of recent major complaints or violations suggests some stabilization of building conditions.
