49 Lorimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The four-story residential building at 49 Lorimer Street in Williamsburg, owned by Lipa Wollner, has experienced multiple maintenance issues in recent years, with particular attention needed to its current violations. Most notably, there are recurring violations regarding the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports, with open Class A violations recorded in April 2024, December 2023, March 2023, and February 2022.

The building has also faced several structural and safety concerns, including a December 2023 violation for an unauthorized key-operated lock on the interior building entrance door, which presents security implications. In December 2021, multiple violations were documented for the 4th-story public hall, including the presence of mold (which was later upgraded to a Class B violation), a broken fire-retardant ceiling, and the need to remove household items obstructing the stairs.

The building's maintenance history shows some violations have been resolved, such as the repair of the fire-retardant ceiling and issues with the boiler room fire door, but several current violations pose potential concerns for residents. While a bedbug report from May 2021 showed no infestations during the previous reporting period, the ongoing violations suggest non-compliance with mandatory reporting requirements. A separate Department of Buildings complaint from December 2022 regarding site conditions endangering workers was closed due to the inspector's inability to gain access, though this may not directly impact current residents.
