406 Lorimer Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The 8-unit, 4-story condominium building at 406 Lorimer Street in Williamsburg, currently managed by the 406 Lorimer Condo Association, LLC, has had several notable issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns centering around insect-related problems. As of September 2024, there are ongoing issues with unlicensed beekeeping or wasp nesting in the vicinity, with two active Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) complaints from August and September 2024.

Additionally, there is a pending DOHMH complaint from June 2023 regarding construction lead dust in common areas. The building has experienced persistent compliance challenges with mandated bedbug reporting requirements, receiving three Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2023, though records indicate that there have been no reported instances of bedbug infestations during the last four reporting periods (2020-2024), with all units listed as "0" for infested, eradicated, or re-infested statuses. The building's regulatory history shows some environmental and compliance challenges, including a DOHMH complaint in July 2021 regarding mobile food vendor placement.

However, there have been no recorded housing maintenance violations since 2023, and an April 2017 rodent inspection resulted in a passing grade. The most concerning current issues remain the unresolved complaints regarding bees/wasps and construction lead dust, both of which could potentially affect resident safety and comfort. While the building has maintained an apparent absence of bedbug infestations since 2020, the historical pattern of violations requiring annual bedbug report filings suggests ongoing attention to this matter may be warranted.
