151 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11249

151 Metropolitan Avenue is a 4-story, 5-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Williamsburg and owned by Robert Sawicki. Built in 1920, the property has undergone several inspections and received various violations over the past few years. Notably, there were three instances between 2022-2023 where the building was cited for failure to file annual Bedbug Reports, though these violations were ultimately closed in 2023.

In June 2022, two complaints regarding failure to maintain the building were filed and subsequently led to an Environmental Control Board violation for exterior maintenance issues, specifically concerning missing wooden pieces at the roof-level cornice on the Berry Street side, for which a $1,250 penalty was imposed. The building's pest management record shows some concerns but generally good maintenance. While there was a rodent sighting reported to the Department of Health in October 2021, the inspection found no violations.

The property has consistently passed rodent inspections in November 2021 and April 2019. Importantly, between November 2019 and October 2024, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in any units, as evidenced by the annual Bedbug Report filings, which showed zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units during this period. The most recent building inspections and compliance checks suggest improved adherence to housing maintenance codes, with no current open violations or notable safety concerns on record as of October 2023.
