Augrented Insights Report for 155 Lorimer Street

155 Lorimer Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Williamsburg and owned by Shlomo Karpen. The property, built in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past decade.

Most notably, there are ongoing concerns about unauthorized construction and safety compliance: a 2019 violation regarding the lack of a legal second means of egress remains active, along with an unresolved issue regarding a bulging foundation wall documented in May 2024. The building underwent unauthorized fourth-floor construction, which triggered multiple violations between 2019-2020, including the installation of an illegal fire escape. In recent years, there have been recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with violations recorded in 2021, 2022, and 2023, though the most recent Bedbug Reporting form from January 2024 shows no reported infestations during the 2022-2023 period.

The property has generated complaints about work being conducted without proper permits, with a complaint in May 2024 being investigated. While many earlier violations were resolved or dismissed, including several related to failure to certify corrections of violations in 2019-2020, the persistence of active violations and recurring compliance issues suggests ongoing management challenges. The building was constructed as an "Old Law Tenement" under pre-1938 regulations, and its current condition reflects a mixture of historical architecture and modern compliance challenges.
