1561 Lincoln Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233

1561 Lincoln Place is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1922 in Crown Heights, currently owned by Eric Vazquez. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past three years, with significant clusters of complaints and violations. Most recently, in May 2025, there were multiple HPD inspections addressing issues including unsanitary garbage storage, wall conditions, flooring problems, and pest infestations, with some violations issued that require the owner to correct the conditions.

Earlier, in March 2024, the building faced multiple serious issues including water leaks, and the presence of mold and pests, with several violations formally recorded. A notable pattern emerged in 2024 with multiple violations issued for Apartment 2A, including electrical service problems, reported mold, and various maintenance deficiencies. The building's maintenance history also shows long-standing issues with its infrastructure, as evidenced by an open violation from November 2024 concerning the building entrance door at the public hall level.

The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting history since 2020, with the most recent reports showing no infested units or eradication efforts required between 2022-2024. A rodent inspection conducted in March 2017 resulted in a passing grade, though more recent pest-related complaints suggest ongoing challenges. While some complaints have been resolved without violations, including instances of water leaks and mold issues in 2024, the building continues to experience persistent maintenance challenges. The presence of multiple open violations as of 2024, particularly affecting units 1A and 2A, indicates ongoing compliance issues with Housing Maintenance Code requirements.
