111 Lawrence Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201
111 Lawrence Street, a 51-story Class A residential building in Downtown Brooklyn, has experienced recurring infrastructure issues since 2022, most notably with heating and plumbing systems. Between February and May 2025 alone, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding both heat/hot water and water supply problems throughout the building, with several incidents requiring emergency interventions by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The building's maintenance record shows persistent challenges with heating systems, including a significant boiler-related violation in 2024 that warranted an Oath violation.
The building, owned by Wayne Ngai, has demonstrated ongoing elevator and building systems maintenance challenges. Between 2021 and 2025, there have been several elevator-related complaints, with inspectors repeatedly finding no violations during visits. Multiple violations regarding self-closing doors and latches in compactor areas across various floors were documented in 2023, while a 2022 inspection of Apartment 44A revealed issues with plaster surfaces and malfunctioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
Despite these problems, the building has maintained a consistent record of pest control success, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years, and only two units affected in 2019. Rodent inspections from 2022 through 2025 have shown variable results, with multiple instances of rat activity recorded between 2022-2023, though the most recent inspection in January 2025 resulted in a "Passed" status. The building's environmental control board records show some historical compliance issues from 2018 regarding false certification matters, though these have since been resolved.
