1615 Lincoln Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233

1615 Lincoln Place is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1922 and owned by Hugh Boston, located in Crown Heights. The property has experienced recurring issues with unsanitary conditions, particularly pest infestations, throughout recent years, with multiple complaints in 2024 alone (most recently in December 2024) documenting both rodent and insect problems that prompted HPD inspections and violations. The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, including mold issues (with emergency complaints in 2024 and 2022), and various infrastructure problems including flooring concerns (October 2024), and wall maintenance issues (December 2024).

Of particular concern is the current open violation from December 2024 regarding a roach infestation and another for mice infestation in Apartment 1. The building's history includes several critical incidents between 2019-2024, notably involving the boiler system. In May 2019, multiple violations were recorded concerning the heating system, including hazardous carbon monoxide issues that temporarily necessitated the boiler's cease use, along with problems with the gas burner, collapsed flue pipe, and safety equipment.

These violations were ultimately resolved, but indicate a period of significant maintenance challenges. More recent violations from December 2024 focus on various apartment maintenance issues, including problems with the kitchen ceiling, floor, window, and sink countertop in Apartment 1. While the building has no recorded bedbug infestations in recent years (2021-2024), and passed a rodent inspection in 2017, the persistent pest problems and infrastructure maintenance issues documented through 311 complaints and HPD violations suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort.
