1144 Metcalf Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1929, currently owned by Juliana Domfeh. The property has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past several years, with multiple emergency complaints filed between 2022 and 2023 regarding building-wide heat and hot water problems, including most recently in November 2023. The building has one active violation as of March 2022 related to inadequate heat supply in apartment 1F, though this was marked as closed following certification of correction.

A door self-closing mechanism violation was issued and closed in June 2023 for apartment 3R. The Department of Buildings has documented several administrative violations in 2023 regarding failure to file external low-pressure inspections for the years 2020, 2021, and 2022, though these were ultimately dismissed. A construction-related stop work order was issued in March 2022, but the disposition status remains unclear.

The building's rodent inspection results have shown consistent compliance since 2017, with only one failure noted in 2013. Bedbug reports from 2020-2023 show zero infestation cases. The property has maintained regular bedbug notifications as required by HPD and has passed recent rodent inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024. A garbage/recycling storage issue was reported and resolved in 2020, and there is documentation of various permits issued between 2018 and 2020 for plumbing and other work, though the specific nature of these permits is not detailed in the records available.
