433 Lincoln Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The three-story, six-unit tenement at 433 Lincoln Avenue in Cypress Hills, owned by Kamla Singh, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in recent months. Most concerning are numerous safety violations from March 2025, including problems with window guards, sprinklers, and smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, though all were marked as "Unable to Inspect" during initial HPD visits.

The building has also faced persistent unsanitary conditions, with multiple reports of mold, pests, and sewage issues in March-April 2025, some of which HPD inspectors were unable to fully investigate. Earlier violations from 2024-2025 indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in Apartment 2R, where there are open violations regarding water leaks, peeling paint, and defective window guards from October 2024. Other notable issues include a defective boiler situation in early April 2025, and potential illegal conversion and illegal commercial use complaints filed in March 2025 that remain active as of this report date.

While there have been several housing maintenance code violations documented in 2024, including problems with self-closing doors and smoke detectors, many of these were eventually addressed and closed. The building's history shows no reported bedbug infestations since at least 2020, and an initial rodent inspection in 2012 was passed, though more recent pest control records are not available. Three violations related to low pressure inspections were dismissed in early 2024, and multiple safety-related complaints from 2024 regarding smoke detection and carbon monoxide systems in Apartment 3R have been properly addressed and closed.
