888 Lorimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

888 Lorimer Street is a 6-story, 5-unit residential building located in Greenpoint, completed in 2018 and currently owned by Alejandro Romero. The building's construction period (2018-2019) was marked by multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints and Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations, with the most significant occurring in December 2019, when multiple safety violations were documented, including failure to provide approved construction documents, inadequate fall protection, lack of proper safety meetings, and improper scaffolding conditions – issues that resulted in penalties totaling $10,000. Throughout 2018-2019, the building experienced several stop work orders and construction-related complaints, all of which were ultimately fully rescinded.

Notably, there were no records of bedbug infestations in any of the six reporting periods from 2019-2024, and a rodent inspection in January 2023 passed with no issues, following an initial rat activity finding in January 2018 that was addressed. After the completion of construction, the building has maintained a relatively clean record, with the most recent bedbug reports (2022-2024) showing no infestations. The building's permit history shows proper documentation and issuance of various permits throughout the construction period.

The majority of the ECB violations have been resolved, with no outstanding penalties. While the building's early construction period showed numerous safety and compliance issues, these were generally addressed through appropriate resolutions, and the property has since shown adherence to health and safety standards, with regular inspections passing without major findings. The most recent DOB violations from 2021 were dismissed based on subsequent inspections showing corrections were made.
