614 Lorimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

614 Lorimer Street is a three-story, four-unit residential building located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, built in 1899 and currently owned by Matthew Blank. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a mold-related unsanitary condition reported in April 2024 that resulted in violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

The building also faced heating system problems in late 2021 when there was a complaint about no heat or hot water affecting the entire building, though tenants reported that these services were restored promptly. A significant cluster of maintenance violations was documented in April 2024, primarily affecting Apartment 1, including multiple citations for water leaks and required repairs to plastered surfaces in various rooms and the kitchen. These violations were certified as corrected by May 2024.

Additionally, in March 2023, two violations were recorded regarding the posting of inspection certificates and housing information guides in the first-story public hall, which were subsequently resolved by July 2023. The building's bedbug reporting history shows no infestations or eradications recorded in the past five reporting periods (2019-2024), indicating effective pest management. While the recent maintenance issues, particularly the mold problem, are concerning, it's worth noting that the building has addressed multiple violations promptly when they have been identified, as evidenced by the certification of corrections in May 2024 and July 2023.
