538 Lorimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The four-story, eight-unit tenement building at 538 Lorimer Street in Williamsburg, owned by Filomena D'agosto, has been subject to recurring bedbug reporting violations over the past four years, with the most recent infraction noted as "open" in April 2024.

While the building has filed its required bedbug reports for the periods 2021-2022 and 2019-2020, listing no infested units in 2022 and previously reporting eradication of all units in 2020, the ongoing violation status suggests compliance issues with the annual reporting requirement. The building's history also includes a concerning pattern of rodent activity in late 2013, with multiple inspections between April and November of that year showing rat presence and warranting bait applications.

Despite these historical pest control challenges, there have been no documented rodent issues in the past decade, and no other significant building code violations have been recorded in recent years. The property, constructed in 1930, falls under the Old Law Tenement classification and has shown some improvement in pest management compliance since the mid-2010s, though the continuing bedbug reporting violation as of 2024 indicates ongoing monitoring is required in this area.
