872 Lorimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 872 Lorimer Street in Greenpoint, built in 1931 and currently owned by Robert Trezza, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in early 2023, there was an emergency heat and hot water outage that required intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, though temperatures were restored shortly thereafter. The building underwent inspections in December 2023 that revealed multiple self-closing door violations in need of repair on both the second and third floors, specifically affecting entrance doors and roof access.

These violations were certified for correction in January 2024. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting history from 2020 to present, with all annual reports indicating zero infested units, suggesting effective pest management. However, recent rodent inspections in 2025 and 2023 have consistently detected rat activity, indicating an ongoing pest control challenge.

A violation was issued in June 2023 regarding failure to file the 2020 external low pressure inspection, though this was dismissed in January 2024. While the building's violation history shows various code issues being addressed, including a specific gas supply problem in a 2018 inspection of apartment 3R, the recurring nature of pest-related complaints and the recent heating system problems warrant attention to the building's maintenance challenges. The most recent bedbug report filed in June 2025 shows no current infestations, though this is a relatively new filing period.
