1559 Lincoln Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233

1559 Lincoln Place is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1922 and currently owned by Loubert Jeanphilippe. The property, classified as a New Law Tenement, has experienced ongoing issues with heat and hot water systems, with nearly monthly complaints recorded from late 2022 through 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. While some complaints were resolved quickly, others required multiple reports to address the persistent problems.

The most recent complaints in 2025 (April and March) involved building-wide heating issues, though inspectors were unable to access units for verification. These recurring heating problems represent the most significant pattern of maintenance issues affecting resident comfort. The building also has several open housing maintenance code violations that require attention.

Apartment 3 has two open Class C violations from October 2024, including an infestation of roaches and problems with self-closing doors. Additionally, there are three open Class A violations regarding the annual bedbug report that remains unfiled, dating from 2019 through 2024. Historical violations from 2019 indicate problems with window guards in Apartment 5, door closures, and heating supply, though many of these issues were subsequently resolved. The building passed a rodent inspection in March 2017, but the presence of open violations related to pests and safety systems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
