1597 Lincoln Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233
The five-story, nine-unit building at 1597 Lincoln Place in Crown Heights, owned by Solomon Perlmutter and built in 1910, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing being a December 2024 heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building. This complaint was notable for the Department of Housing Preservation and Development's inability to gain access for inspection. Throughout 2024, there were multiple reports of moisture-related problems, including slow leaks, heavy water flow incidents, and two instances of mold (submitted as unsanitary conditions in June and May 2024).
The building has also faced electrical issues, with complaints about wiring and outlets in late 2023, though no violations were ultimately issued. The property has a history of structural work and maintenance compliance issues, particularly evident during a 2019 construction period when multiple safety violations were recorded, including inadequate housekeeping, lack of safety equipment, and failure to maintain proper protection for adjacent properties, with penalties imposed totaling $7,125. Various building systems have been subject to inspection, including electrical wiring and plumbing, with permits issued in 2018-2019 for work valued at $321,500. Recent inspections have shown no bedbug infestations between 2019 and 2025, and rodent inspections in 2017 passed successfully.
While there have been several housing code violations over the years, most were resolved or dismissed upon inspection, including two nearly identical violations from 2022 regarding the placement of inspection certificates. The building's recent history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with respect to water-related issues and heating systems. While many complaints have been closed without violations being found, the pattern of repeated complaints in similar categories warrants attention. The property's bedbug and rodent history is relatively unremarkable, with no infestations reported in recent years.
