496 Lincoln Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family house at 496 Lincoln Avenue in Cypress Hills, owned by Shajada Mamun, has experienced significant maintenance issues over recent years, particularly during late 2021 and early 2022. The building, constructed in 1930, has documented multiple heating and hot water-related complaints, with more than ten reports of inadequate heat or hot water between December 2021 and February 2022, many of which were classified as emergencies.

Additional documented problems during this period included electrical issues (with multiple reports of no lighting), plumbing problems affecting sinks and radiators, and a mold issue that was classified as unsanitary conditions. The property has open violations recorded as of January 2022, including issues with waste lines in the bathroom sink, illegal double cylinder locks on the entrance gate, and various maintenance concerns in the third-floor apartment (FL3) related to the water closet flushing apparatus, bathroom light fixtures, and waste line obstructions.

Previous history shows a problematic period in early 2021 with hot water temperature violations exceeding 130 degrees Fahrenheit, electrical light fixture issues, and even a rodent infestation, all of which were ultimately closed following inspection in March 2021. Complaints filed with the Department of Buildings in 2020 regarding electrical wiring and illegal commercial use were investigated but resulted in no violations being warranted at the time of inspection. While some complaints were marked as resolved, many of the recent maintenance issues appear to have persisted through multiple inspection attempts, with several HPD inspectors unable to gain access to units for verification.
