50 Lincoln Road, Brooklyn, NY 11225
50 Lincoln Road, a 6-story, 64-unit New Law Tenement built in 1926 in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens and owned by Jay Jaffe, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. The building has faced recurring elevator problems, as evidenced by multiple Department of Buildings complaints between 2021-2023 regarding "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service," with violations resulting in penalties. Recent complaints from 2025 include concerns about indoor air quality with chemical vapors (April 2025), while earlier this year (February 2025) tenants reported various maintenance issues including water leaks, ceiling problems, and heat/hot water outages.
The building has also struggled with pest control, with open violations for pest infestations in Apartments 1H and 6I as of August 2024. Multiple heating and hot water-related complaints were recorded in early 2025, along with plumbing issues affecting fixtures like bathtubs/showers and sinks. The property's environmental and maintenance record shows a mix of resolved and ongoing violations.
Notably, there have been several instances of inadequate elevator safety features, with multiple ECB violations between 2018-2023 regarding inoperative door zone restrictors and other safety equipment, though most were resolved through compliance. The building's infrastructure has faced scrutiny during the 2020-2022 period, with active violations related to energy efficiency score display requirements and failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous violations. While previous rodent infestation issues were documented between 2017-2019, recent bedbug reporting from 2023-2024 shows no current infestations. The building's recent history indicates ongoing challenges with basic services and maintenance, particularly concerning heating systems, plumbing, and elevator reliability, despite various remediation efforts as indicated by the resolution of many past violations.
