489 Lincoln Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

489 Lincoln Avenue is a 6-unit, 3-story New Law tenement building located in Cypress Hills, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Maria Mayo. The building's recent history shows some concerning patterns, particularly during 2020 when multiple maintenance issues were reported between August and September, including problems with appliances (electric/gas range), various paint/plaster concerns, door issues, and multiple reports of pest-related problems. Notably, there was a single heat/hot water complaint in November 2021 that went unresolved due to lack of access for inspection.

The building received several Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2020, including requirements for proper gas leak notification procedures, smoke detector requirements, and balcony maintenance, though these were certified as closed by November 2020. More positively, the building has maintained clear bedbug records from 2019 through present, with no reported infestations in the last five consecutive annual filings (2022-2024). The most recent inspection-related activity indicates attention to building codes, with the most significant issue being an open C-class violation from August 2020 regarding mice infestation in apartment 1F.

This violation was joined by three other C-class violations related to bathroom ceiling, kitchen flooring, and other apartment-specific issues, though most other 2020 violations were subsequently closed. The building's condition appears to have stabilized in recent years, with no major complaints or violations reported between 2021-2023, and the bedbug reporting shows consistent adherence to requirements with zero infestation reports. A rodent inspection conducted in April 2012 passed, indicating previous attention to pest control, though no subsequent rodent inspection records are available in the provided data.
