136 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11249

The six-story, nine-unit residential building at 136 Metropolitan Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Matthew Viragh, has undergone several notable inspections and reported incidents since its construction in 1952. The building has maintained consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, with the most recent filing in July 2025 showing no reported infestations during the previous period (2023-2024).

While there were three Housing Maintenance Code violations related to annual bedbug reporting in 2022-2024, these appear to have been administrative in nature. Rodent-related incidents have been documented in and around the building, with the most recent rodent sighting reported in December 2018 (though this complaint was closed the following day). Comprehensive rodent inspections in 2019 showed generally positive results, with the building passing inspections in April and January of that year, though it initially failed an inspection in December 2018 for "Other Reasons." The building has two active Department of Buildings violations from February 2020, though no specific details are provided in the records.

In early 2021, two DOB violations were resolved related to elevator work performed by Kone Elevators and certified by Kirk Mayer. Overall, the building's recent records (as of July 2025) indicate improved conditions, particularly regarding pest management, with no reported infestations in the past three years. The property has generally complied with regulatory requirements, though some historical issues with bedbug report filings and rodent inspections are noteworthy.
