557 Lorimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
The three-story, five-unit residential building at 557 Lorimer Street in Williamsburg, owned by Michele Morelli, has experienced several notable incidents over the past few years.
Most concerning is a pattern of inspections related to potential illegal hotel room usage, with three separate complaints filed between September 2023 and March 2025, none of which permitted inspectors access for verification despite multiple attempts. A food poisoning incident was reported and closed in December 2024 by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which classified the case as isolated with regular inspection procedures to follow.
The building had one complaint regarding an inadequate or illegal fence in November 2022, though no violations were found upon inspection. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations in recent years, with official reports for the periods November 2023-October 2024 and November 2021-October 2022 showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infestations.
