Augrented Insights Report for 157 Lorimer Street

157 Lorimer Street is a 3-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building in Williamsburg, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Isidor Mandel. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a cluster of complaints in May 2024 involving flooring issues and pest problems, though no violations were ultimately issued by HPD following inspections. In March 2023, multiple emergency violations were recorded, including problems with heat/hot water throughout the building, which affected unit 2L, and safety concerns regarding a carbon monoxide detector, window guard, and plumbing issues.

The building has an active ECB violation from May 2024 regarding unauthorized excavation work with a $2,500 penalty, and multiple active DOB violations from 2019-2023 related to failure to file annual boiler inspections. Recent complaints in 2025 have included issues with plumbing maintenance and work contrary to a stop work order. The building's maintenance history shows recurring problems that affect resident comfort and safety.

These include an emergency heating system failure in late 2023, multiple pest infestations throughout the building, and various safety code violations (including issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and window guards) documented in March 2023. While the bedbug reporting records from 2021-2024 show zero infested units, the rodent inspection results from 2016 and 2022 indicate past pest management challenges. More recent complaints in 2024 and 2025 suggest ongoing maintenance concerns, particularly regarding plumbing systems and unauthorized construction work. The building's age (94 years old as of 2025) is evident in the frequency of maintenance issues, though many complaints have been resolved without violations being issued.
