129 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11249

129 Metropolitan Avenue is a 6-story, 12-unit residential building constructed in 2008 in Williamsburg, currently owned by David Ahn. The building has experienced several noteworthy incidents over the past few years, with the most recent being an active Environmental Control Board violation as of October 2024, related to failure to submit required parking structure inspection reports, carrying a $2,500 penalty.

The property has faced issues with elevator compliance, including an active violation from April 2019 for failing to file the required Category 1 inspection/test results from 2017. There have been recurring bedbug reporting violations in 2021, 2022, and most recently in 2024, though these appear to be administrative in nature as all subsequent bedbug reports from 2019 to present show zero infested units or eradications. The building had one Department of Buildings complaint filed in June 2019 regarding illegal hotel rooms, though this was closed due to the inspector being unable to gain access during the final attempt.

A series of violations were issued in 2020 and 2021 related to elevator equipment, which were resolved by September 2021. On a positive note, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in April 2019 showing no issues. The regular filing of bedbug reports since 2019 shows compliance with reporting requirements, and the most recent reports indicate no ongoing infestations, suggesting effective pest management procedures in place, despite the earlier reporting violations.
