63 Devoe Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The three-story, four-unit Old Law Tenement building at 63 Devoe Street in Williamsburg, owned by the Dominick & Lucia D'alto Irrevocable Family Trust, experienced a significant fire incident on November 26, 2021 that resulted in substantial damage to the property. The four-alarm fire affected the rear of the building, compromising roof rafters and bearing walls, while subsequent firefighting efforts caused extensive water damage throughout the structure.

Following the incident, multiple complaints were filed regarding building shaking, maintenance failures, and construction concerns. The Department of Buildings issued violations requiring the owner to hire a New York State Professional Engineer (NYSPE) for evaluation and to implement shoring and temporary weatherproofing measures. The violation records indicate that between November 2021 and April 2025, the building underwent substantial repairs, with work completed under job numbers B00657243 and B00789183, which received the necessary Letters of Completion (LOCs) following inspection.

A vacate order was originally placed due to the fire damage, but this was fully rescinded on March 26, 2025, as confirmed by the final disposition of violations related to the fire. The building has been maintaining compliance with repair requirements, though the extensive fire and water damage history suggests significant prior disruption to the building's operations and resident comfort. The most recent records indicate that the building is now fully habitable, having completed all required repairs and inspections.
