1519 Lincoln Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

1519 Lincoln Place is a 4-story, 23-unit New Law Tenement building located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, and is currently owned by 1519 Lincoln Holdings LLC. The property, constructed in 1921, has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues, with an alarming cluster of complaints in December 2024, including eight separate incidents logged between December 8 and December 26, all related to building-wide heat/hot water problems.

While many of these complaints were subsequently investigated and closed, the pattern suggests persistent infrastructure challenges. The building also faced electrical issues with an immediate power outage reported in June 2025. The property has undergone several inspections and repairs over recent years, with notable improvements including the resolution of safety violations related to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 2A in early 2024, and the removal of illegally installed air conditioners obstructing fire escape access in 2023.

Multiple violations regarding self-closing doors at various building entry points were identified and addressed between 2022-2023, along with the removal of a refrigerator that had become a public hall nuisance. The building's maintenance record from 2019-2025 shows regular bedbug and rodent inspections, with no infestations or re-infestations reported in the past several years, and a passed rodent inspection in March 2017. While the heat/hot water issues in late 2024 and early 2025 represent the most pressing recent concerns, the building has generally maintained compliance with safety regulations since addressing the aforementioned violations.
