532 Lorimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

532 Lorimer Street is a 5-story, 9-unit residential building in Williamsburg, constructed in 2019 and currently owned by Sam Wurzberger. The building's construction and initial occupancy period (2019-2020) was marked by several significant events, including multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations related to construction safety compliance and work contrary to stop work orders.

Between September 2020 and December 2020, there were at least five instances of failure to certify correction on immediately hazardous (Class 1) ECB violations, though all these violations were ultimately dismissed between 2021-2022. The building underwent various permit issuances throughout 2020-2022, including multiple New Building (NB) permits and plumbing permits, indicating ongoing adjustments and finalizations of building systems. More recent history (2021-2023) shows a pattern of DOB complaints primarily concerning access issues, with inspectors unable to gain access during inspections related to sustainability enforcement (June 2022), elevator service compliance (February 2022), and a grade/watercourse change complaint (October 2022).

There were also complaints about excessive debris (August 2022), though no violations were warranted in that case. Importantly, there have been no bedbug infestations reported in any of the building's units since at least 2021, with the most recent bedbug reports from 2024 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units during the specified monitoring periods. The building's maintenance record suggests ongoing attention to various compliance issues, with a notable pattern of resolving most complaints and violations through proper channels, though access issues remain a recurring theme in inspection requests.
