143 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11249
143 Metropolitan Avenue is a three-story, four-unit residential tenement building in Williamsburg, constructed in 1910 and owned by Fred Gelfand. The property has experienced recurring administrative issues regarding its bedbug reporting compliance, with Housing Maintenance Code violations documented annually between 2021 and 2024 for failing to file the required reports, though recent filings from 2025 show zero infested or eradicated units, suggesting improved compliance.
Between 2016 and 2019, the building underwent multiple rodent control efforts, including several bait applications and inspections indicating rat activity, though a compliance inspection in 2019 showed no current infestations. The Department of Buildings records show a pattern of violations related to the failure to file mandatory external low-pressure inspections between 2018 and 2021, all of which were dismissed in 2023.
A 2019 construction-related complaint was investigated but found no warrant for violations. The building's most recent bedbug report from 2025, covering the 2023-2024 period, indicates no current infestation issues, marking a positive trend in pest management compliance.
