47 Lorimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The four-story, four-unit building at 47 Lorimer Street in Williamsburg, owned by Moshe Steinfeld and constructed in 1995, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. In early 2019, multiple service requests were made concerning heat/hot water, door/window problems, plumbing (toilet), and an appliance (electric/gas range), with the heat/hot water complaint classified as emergency.

More recently, in Spring 2023, the building underwent inspections revealing several significant violations, including a leaking roof over the 4th floor public hall, multiple encumbrances of household items in public areas, and issues with self-closing doors at both the cellar and boiler room. Some violations from early 2023 inspections were classified as Class A or B, indicating their potential impact on safety and habitability.

However, as of 2024, there have been no reported infestations (as per the bedbug reporting requirements) and the building passed rodent inspections in January 2023, though there was recorded rat activity in December 2022. A complaint regarding illegal conversion was filed in May 2023, but access was denied during inspection attempts. While many earlier service requests from 2019 remain unresolved due to lack of access for inspections, most recent violations have been documented as having been closed, though the current status of some repairs is not explicitly noted in the available data.
