Augrented Insights Report for 42 Lincoln Avenue

42 Lincoln Avenue is a 6-unit, 3-story residential building located in Cypress Hills and owned by Jacob Brach. The New Law Tenement, constructed in 1925, is currently facing several maintenance challenges, with the most significant issues occurring in late 2024 through early 2025. Recent complaints have included persistent heat and hot water problems (both building-wide and apartment-specific), a heavy water leak, and ongoing plumbing issues involving bathtubs and showers.

Notably, Apartment 1L has documented multiple violations from December 2024, including problems with radiators (both air valve and shut-off valve issues), missing escutcheon plate, and deteriorated bathroom paint. The building has also experienced various emergencies in 2024, such as mold issues, window frame problems, and a significant infestation of roaches in Apartment 2L. The property currently has an active violation related to the failure to file the 2023 External Low Pressure Inspection.

Despite these recent challenges, 42 Lincoln Avenue has maintained a consistent record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual filings between 2019 and 2024 showing zero infested units. The building's earlier history shows one successful rodent inspection in March 2012, indicating previous pest control measures were effective. While most recent HPD complaints have been resolved or closed, many were initially marked as "unable to access" during inspections, raising concerns about tenant cooperation with maintenance staff. The current status as of July 2025 shows multiple open violations from August 2024 related to smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and faucet issues in Apartment 1L, as well as ventilation concerns noted in December 2024 violations.
