1610 Lincoln Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233

1610 Lincoln Place is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Ricky Muhammad. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with multiple HPD service requests between late 2020 and March 2022, though most were resolved shortly after reporting. The building currently has several open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2024.

More concerning is the active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violation from 2021, with penalties totaling $1,312, regarding obstructions of the fire escape egress pathway to the street, which was documented to be secured with steel gates and padlocks. The building has also faced various safety and compliance issues, including multiple notices in March 2021 for missing safety signage requirements, such as smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector notices, as well as failure to properly post building registration information and tenant housing guide availability notices. The property has one recent inspection result from March 2017 showing a passed rodent inspection, though this is significantly dated compared to current data.

While there have been multiple violation cases for failure to certify corrections, these were ultimately dismissed in April 2022 after being downgraded. A locked/blocked egress complaint from May 2021 led to an Oath violation being served. The concentration of heat and safety-related complaints over the past five years, particularly regarding egress obstruction and heating system reliability, suggests ongoing maintenance and safety system challenges within the building.
