48 Lincoln Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

48 Lincoln Avenue, a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement built in 1925 and currently owned by Eric Mcbean, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout its recent history. Most notably, between March and April 2025, there were multiple documented complaints regarding lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, with several inspections unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

Some of these complaints resulted in violations being issued to the property owner. The building's heating system problems appear to be a persistent issue, with similar complaints documented in March 2024, March 2023, and as far back as March 2022, although one 2022 complaint noted that heat and hot water had been restored when HPD was contacted. The property currently has an open Class A violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though previous years' violations for this issue (2018-2023) were eventually closed.

Apartment 3R has documented open Class B violations from 2018 related to pest control (roaches), mold and mildew, and damaged bathroom tiles, though these violations are from several years ago. On a positive note, a rodent inspection conducted in March 2012 resulted in a passing grade. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with fundamental services, particularly heating, though the extent of the current issues is currently being evaluated through ongoing complaints and inspections.
