1118 Lorimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

1118 Lorimer Street is a four-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1874 in Greenpoint, currently owned by Helmut Buecherl. The property has experienced several significant issues over recent years, most notably ongoing compliance concerns regarding bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations from 2021 through 2024 indicating non-compliance with the Housing Maintenance Code's annual bedbug report filing requirements. The building underwent substantial work between 2019-2024, during which multiple construction-related violations and complaints were recorded.

In 2019, there was unauthorized work involving the removal of gas, water, and sewer piping throughout the building, resulting in a $2,500 penalty, and in 2020-2022, there were various permits issued for plumbing and electrical work. A construction stop work order was issued in September 2022 but was later rescinded in June 2023. The building has undergone several safety inspections, including tenant safety inspections in 2023 that were noted as compliance inspections with no violations found.

Multiple Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections occurred in 2023, though most resulted in "No Violation Warranted" findings. A health-related complaint regarding indoor air quality due to construction dust was received in October 2021, and rodent inspection conducted in October 2022 resulted in a passing grade. The most recent Department of Buildings complaint from July 2024 remains active. The building's records show a pattern of recurring administrative and compliance issues, particularly regarding bedbug reporting and construction work, though many recent inspections have found no current violations.
