1074 Lorimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

1074 Lorimer Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building in Greenpoint, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Miroslawa Zielinski. The building has experienced persistent rodent issues, with multiple complaints filed between 2023 and 2025, most recently in March 2025, though inspections in 2024 and 2023 confirmed rat activity.

The property has a concerning pattern of heating system problems, with three building-wide heat/hot water complaints recorded in 2023, including one during July when HPD could not access units to verify the reported lack of services. A significant cluster of emergency maintenance complaints was recorded in June 2025, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, fire escape safety, smoke detectors, mold, and heat/hot water systems, suggesting potential safety and maintenance concerns. The building has several active Environmental Control Board violations related to maintenance issues, including one from 2024 regarding disrepair of building walls with missing siding, and multiple violations from 2021-2024 regarding failure to maintain building standards and respond to previous violations.

There are also persistent issues with electrical wiring, documented through multiple complaints between 2020 and 2025, though inspections often resulted in "No Violation Warranted" outcomes or access denial to inspectors. Additional concerns include problems with building facade maintenance, as evidenced by multiple DOB violations for failure to file external low-pressure inspections between 2018 and 2023. While a bedbug report filed in 2022 showed no active infestations during the reporting period, the building's overall maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with basic building systems and pest control.
