Augrented Insights Report for 503 Lincoln Avenue

The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 503 Lincoln Avenue in Cypress Hills, built in 1901 and owned by Bissoondai Balkissoon, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in recent months. Between July and August 2024, multiple emergency and non-emergency complaints were filed regarding electrical wiring, plumbing (including sink issues), and window frame problems, though no violations were ultimately issued following HPD inspections.

More concerning are several open violations identified during an August 2024 inspection of apartment 2, including a broken kitchen window counterbalance, multiple rooms improperly used as single room occupancy spaces, and defective smoke/carbon monoxide detection systems. The building has also faced serious compliance issues regarding its gas system, with three active Environmental Control Board violations as of August 2024, including insufficient gas line diameter, unpermitted gas-related work, and occupancy violations resulting from unauthorized room conversions.

While the building has maintained a clean record in recent bedbug and rodent inspections (most recent rodent inspection passed in 2012), the recent pattern of unresolved safety violations and illegal conversions suggests significant ongoing regulatory compliance challenges. The property has been subject to numerous complaints about illegal conversions and gas hookup issues throughout summer 2024, with multiple instances of inspectors being unable to gain access during their investigations.
