719 Lorimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
The 3-story, 6-unit OLD LAW TENEMENT building at 719 Lorimer Street in Williamsburg, owned by John Imperatore, was constructed in 1928 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. The most pressing recent concern was a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in September 2021, though these services were reportedly restored during the HPD investigation. Multiple water-related problems were documented between 2018-2020, including slow leaks, damp spots, and plumbing issues, particularly affecting the bathroom facilities.
Significant plumbing violations were recorded in September 2019 regarding waste line obstructions in Apartment 1L. The building has also faced various emergency conditions, including unsanitary conditions related to mold and pests in September 2019. Recent inspections indicate some ongoing maintenance concerns, with two "open" violations from January 2021 regarding fire-retardant material and water leaks in the basement ceiling.
However, the building has maintained an active record of timely bedbug reporting between 2021-2025, with no documented infestations or eradication cases in recent filings. Historical records show persistent rodent activity in 2014-2016, with multiple bait applications and inspections noting rat presence, though the most recent rodent inspections have been less frequent and varied in results. While many of the previous complaints from 2018-2020 have been addressed and closed without violations, the building's age and history of water-related issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent bedbug reports from 2023-2024 show no infestations, representing positive progress in this area.
