1373 Lincoln Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

1373 Lincoln Place is a 12-story, 87-unit residential building located in Crown Heights, built in 2014 and currently owned by Herminio Torres. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues, with multiple complaints recorded in early 2025 (January, February, April, and a final instance in April 2025) regarding lack of service throughout the entire building. While some of these complaints were resolved during inspection, they indicate persistent mechanical problems. More recently, in May 2025, there was a complaint about inadequate lighting that could not be inspected due to access issues.

The building's elevator system has also been a source of numerous complaints, particularly in 2023-2024, with multiple reports about "Multiple Devices on Property" between March 2023 and February 2024, though many were documented as "Please See Complaint Number" in their disposition. The property has shown satisfactory maintenance in other areas, with recent rodent inspections (2024 and 2025) passing, though there was a rat sighting complaint in May 2025 that resulted in no violations being found. Previous violations from 2023 include a Class C violation for roach infestation in Apartment 9G and multiple B-class violations in Apartment 5A from January 2024 concerning water leaks, plaster surfaces, and window maintenance, all of which were certified as resolved by February 2024. The building has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent report in 2024 indicating one unit that had been treated and resolved.

Historical data shows variable conditions from 2018-2025, with the most significant issues centering around heating systems, elevator maintenance, and sporadic pest control challenges. The building's management has generally responded to complaints, though access issues have prevented inspections in multiple instances, particularly regarding the most recent lighting complaint in May 2025 and several heating system complaints in 2025. Notably, there were several housing maintenance violations regarding posting requirements for building safety information in 2020, though these were ultimately resolved. The building's age and construction type (Class A) suggest it should be equipped with modern systems, though the recurring nature of heating system complaints may indicate either an aging infrastructure or maintenance challenges.
