732 Lorimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

732 Lorimer Street is a 3-story, 5-unit residential building in Williamsburg, constructed in 1928 and currently owned by Dimitrios Konstantakakos. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, with the most recent being heat and hot water problems in October 2023 affecting the entire building, which were resolved upon inspection by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). In July 2023, there were plumbing and water supply issues that required immediate attention, and a sewage odor complaint was also filed that month.

The building has a documented history of heat/hot water problems with similar complaints in 2020 and 2019, suggesting ongoing challenges with the building's heating system. The property has faced multiple regulatory compliance issues, including several active violations related to the failure to file annual external low-pressure inspections between 2018 and 2024, as well as a violation for not submitting the 2023 annual boiler inspection report. There was a cluster of pest-related complaints in August 2021, though no violations were found by inspectors. The building's bedbug reporting for the period between late 2021 and late 2022 showed no infested units, with zero cases of eradication or re-infestation.

Two complaints regarding potential illegal commercial use in the residential zone were filed in 2019 and 2021, but inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the claims. The property has maintained some basic compliance, passing rodent inspections in 2015, though there was initial evidence of rat activity detected during that year. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services such as heating and plumbing, while also indicating some level of responsiveness to regulatory requirements, as evidenced by the closure of many previous complaints following inspection and correction of identified issues. However, the presence of multiple open violations related to inspection filings raises questions about the building's current maintenance oversight.
