136 Lawrence Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201
The three-story mixed-use building at 136 Lawrence Street in Downtown Brooklyn, owned by Jerome Spitzer, has experienced several concerning issues over the past eight years. The property currently has four open violations related to the failure to file annual boiler inspection reports for multiple low-pressure boilers, each with a penalty balance of $655.00 as of December 2024.
While the building has generally passed rodent inspections in 2013, 2017, and most recently in January 2023, there have been multiple food establishment-related complaints including rodent/insect issues, an isolated food poisoning incident, and allergy information concerns between 2018 and 2024. Significant maintenance issues emerged in late 2019 when the Department of Housing Preservation and Development received complaints about heat/hot water problems, mold, safety concerns regarding fire escapes, and flooring issues, though these were subsequently closed.
The building has also faced recurring bedbug report violations from 2021 to 2024 (all classified as "Open") and an activeDOB violation issued in September 2024 regarding failure to file 2023 external low-pressure inspections. A building stability complaint from September 2023 was inspected but found to have no violations. It's worth noting that all food safety inspections can be accessed through the NYC Department of Health website, and while some issues may have been addressed, the pattern of violations suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges.
