1579 Lincoln Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233

1579 Lincoln Place is a 3-story, 3-unit New Law Tenement building located in Crown Heights, built in 1899 and currently owned by Agnes Jeffrey-findley. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, most recently documented in March 2025 where HPD was unable to access the building for inspection, and previously in November 2024 where the problem was reportedly resolved after HPD's intervention.

These concerns were classified as emergency situations under the Housing Maintenance Code. The building has persistent, unresolved violations related to bedbug reporting requirements for the years 2021 through 2024, with no evidence of certification for compliance with the annual bedbug report submission mandated by HPD regulations. While there were rodent inspections conducted in 2017, which showed a failure to comply with some requirements in March of that year, the subsequent May inspection resulted in passing compliance.

Both rodent-related inspections were from several years ago, and no recent rodent-related issues have been documented, though the overall conditions suggest past pest management challenges. The most pressing current issues appear to be the recurring heat and hot water problems, with the most recent incident occurring just months ago, along with the ongoing bedbug reporting violations that have persisted for at least four years. While the building has passed some inspections (like the 2017 rodent compliance check), the pattern of heating issues and unresolved bedbug reporting requirements represent the most significant concerns based on available records.
