1587 Lincoln Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233
The 5-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 1587 Lincoln Place in Crown Heights, owned by Colleen Mcentee and constructed in 1899, has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues between 2018 and 2022, with multiple emergency complaints filed by tenants for both entire building and apartment-specific outages. Despite these complaints being labeled as "emergency" situations, there appears to have been some difficulties in inspection access, as noted in closed case descriptions for 2018, 2019, and 2021. More recently, the building has faced significant structural and safety concerns, particularly in 2023-2024, including a serious incident of building shaking/vibration in June 2023 that resulted in a full vacate order, and multiple complaints regarding electrical wiring and construction work that also required inspections.
There are currently multiple open violations related to the failure to file required annual inspections, including both external low-pressure inspections (from 2018-2023) and boiler inspections (from 2017), as well as an open violation from 2024 regarding bedbug report filings. The building's maintenance record shows some stability issues, with several inspections in 2023 including one for defective/exposed wiring where inspectors were unable to gain access. A 2017 rodent inspection was passed, though this appears to be the only pest-related inspection on record.
The building's most concerning recent issues revolve around structural stability and safety compliance, with multiple active violations and three separate complaints about building shaking in 2023. The consistent pattern of heat and hot water complaints from 2018 to 2022, while less frequent in recent years, indicates an ongoing maintenance challenge. The property has several open violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2024, though these appear to be administrative in nature compared to the more pressing structural and safety concerns. While there have been multiple "vacant, open and unguarded" complaints in 2023-2024, inspections found no violations at the time, suggesting these may have been precautionary notices rather than indications of actual problems with the building's current occupancy status.
