Augrented Insights Report for 639 Lorimer Street

639 Lorimer Street is a 2-family, 2-story residential building located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Elyahoo Nathan. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and code compliance issues over the past several years, with the most recent concerns being a 2025 rodent/insect/garbage issue noted by the NYC Health Department. Between 2018-2019, there were multiple housing maintenance code complaints and violations, including problems with the bell/buzzer/intercom system, plumbing issues, electrical wiring concerns, and various apartment maintenance matters such as heating, painting, and plastering.

Notably, there were multiple after-hours work complaints in late 2023, though inspections found no violations warranting action. The building underwent several construction and plumbing work periods between 2018-2023, with multiple permits issued and some associated violations. A significant cluster of violations existed regarding the building's sewer/storm drain system in 2019-2020, with multiple citations issued to 6817 Third LLC regarding inadequate drainage connections.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2021, with consistent reporting showing zero infested units. Rodent inspections between 2016-2019 generally resulted in passing outcomes, with only one failed inspection noted in March 2019. While there were various code violations and complaints recorded against the building from 2018 to the present, many were addressed and closed through compliance actions, though a few open violations related to construction work from 2020 remain noted.
