1474 Lincoln Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213

1474 Lincoln Place is a 4-story, 23-unit residential building constructed in 1914 in Crown Heights, currently owned by Norman Charles. The building has experienced recurring issues with smoking violations in recently established smoke-free areas, with the latest complaint from May 2025 still in progress. The property has undergone multiple inspections and received various complaints over the years, with notable concerns in apartment 20 during 2021-2022, including plumbing issues (kitchen sink and bathtub), mold, and pest problems, though these violations were eventually closed.

The building had three heat/hot water emergency complaints in December 2019, and various maintenance issues have been documented through 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints, including plumbing (2021), water leaks (2021), and window guard issues (2023). Recent records show that the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting history, with no reported infestations in the past three consecutive filing periods from 2021-2024, though there was one recorded incident in 2020. Rodent inspections have been conducted periodically, with the most recent showing rat activity in 2018, following earlier inspections in 2011 that failed for other reasons.

The building's maintenance history reveals attention to various safety systems, as evidenced by violations related to carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and fire escape access in apartment 20. Most recently, an active DOB violation from June 2023 has been noted for failure to file the 2019 external low-pressure inspection. While many historical complaints have been addressed and closed, the recurring nature of some issues, particularly regarding smoking violations and periodic maintenance concerns, suggests ongoing management challenges at this property.
