561 Lorimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
The two-family house at 561 Lorimer Street in Williamsburg, built in 1930 and currently owned by Charles Papaconstantinou, has experienced a series of concerning maintenance issues over recent years, with particular attention needed on boiler maintenance and pest control. Most pressing are multiple open violations related to the building's low-pressure boiler system, with active violations as of September 2024 for failure to file required annual inspection reports dating back to 2018 through 2023, resulting in a penalty of $655.
The building has also faced recurring rodent issues, with the most recent inspection in July 2023 showing rat activity, though a subsequent September 2023 inspection passed compliance. The property has documented several safety and maintenance violations from 2020, including inadequate heat supply, defective intercom system, issues with fire escape access, and problems with hot water temperature control.
Additional concerns were noted regarding building safety features, with violations for a broken drop ladder on the rear fire escape and obstructed egress due to an unauthorized frame structure. While some of these issues were addressed, as evidenced by various inspection closures, the persistence of open violations and recurring maintenance problems raises ongoing concerns about building upkeep. The most recent 311 service requests include a May 2023 rat sighting and a September 2023 food establishment-related complaint, though these were closed with resolutions.
