630 Lorimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The four-story, six-unit residential building at 630 Lorimer Street in Williamsburg, owned by Matthew Gelfand, has experienced several maintenance issues since its construction in 2015. Most recently, in October 2024, there were two significant complaints: one regarding inadequate heat/hot water in an apartment (which was inspected and resulted in violations) and another concerning ceiling paint/plaster that could not be inspected due to access issues.

These issues have corresponded with two open violations as of October 2024, including one for a locked boiler room heating system access (Class C violation) and another for incomplete hot water service in Apartment 301 (also a Class C violation). The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting compliance from 2019 through 2025, with no reported infestations in any of the annual filings since 2019. The property has encountered various maintenance concerns over the years, including emergency heat/hot water issues in October 2024, and a history of elevator and plumbing complaints in 2020.

An Environmental Control Board violation was issued in November 2020 regarding an inoperative rear zone lock restrictor and an expired fire extinguisher, though this was resolved with a penalty of $1,250. The building's rodent inspection history shows some challenges between 2012 and 2018, with initial inspections indicating rat activity in 2017 and 2018, though later compliance inspections passed. While the property has experienced periodic maintenance issues, recent records indicate improved management of pest control and regulatory compliance, with no new bedbug infestations reported in the most recent 2024-2025 filing period.
