1031 Lorimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The four-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement at 1031 Lorimer Street in Greenpoint, owned by Terrence Lowenberg, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues since its construction in 1930. The most recent concerns, as of June 2025, include ongoing standing water issues reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in June 2021, which remain unresolved. A series of water-related problems were documented in December 2018, including reports of damp spots and slow leaks, as well as issues with mold and a ceiling requiring paint/plaster work.

The building underwent electrical issues in July 2018, with a power outage reported and subsequently inspected, revealing no violations. The property has been subject to Department of Buildings scrutiny, with a significant plumbing-related violation in December 2018 regarding a suspended master plumber's license, though this was subsequently dismissed in December 2019. The building experienced construction-related concerns in July 2018, leading to a stop work order that was fully rescinded in August 2019.

Importantly, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record for the past five consecutive reporting periods from 2020-2025, with zero reported infestations. A rodent inspection in October 2015 was passed, and there were reports of excessive debris in July 2022, though no violations were found upon inspection. The property has two active permits from 2019 related to plumbing and electrical work, reflecting ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts.
