13 Lorimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The six-story, 12-unit building at 13 Lorimer Street in Williamsburg, owned by Mendy Deutsch, was constructed in 2003 and has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years. The most significant concerns were documented during a June 2023 inspection, revealing multiple violations requiring attention to self-closing fire doors (both in Fire Stair A at the 4th and 6th stories), various repair needs in apartment 6A including ceiling leaks in multiple hallways and rooms, and a broken glass pane in a vestibule door.

A notable ongoing issue is related to two unauthorized temporary storage sheds located on both the west and east sections of the roof, for which a violation remains open as of June 2023. The building has shown a pattern of maintenance issues being addressed, as evidenced by several violations being marked as "Close" following repairs or corrections, including work completed in July and August 2023.

The building's violation history also includes three Department of Buildings violations from 2019-2021, all of which were resolved or dismissed based on subsequent inspections showing corrected defects. Significantly, there have been no recorded instances of bedbug infestations since at least 2019, with the most recent bedbug reports (2022-2025) showing zero infested units, indicating effective pest management practices have been maintained throughout this period. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues, particularly in recent inspections, the prompt attention to violations and lack of recurring pest problems suggests that most issues have been addressed as they arise.
