280 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The 280 Metropolitan Avenue Condominium, a 6-story, 28-unit residential building constructed in 2014, has experienced several maintenance issues over its history, though none appear to be recurring problems. The most recent significant incidents include a water leak (damp spot) in July 2021 and unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage in October 2020; both complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) but resulted in no violations being issued.

The building has been subject to two Department of Buildings investigations, one in 2021 regarding potential illegal plumbing work (which could impact resident safety) and another in 2022 concerning alleged illegal hotel rooms; both investigations were closed without the issuance of violations. The property shows a generally good record in terms of pest control and building health. There have been no bedbug infestations reported in any unit since 2019, and a rodent inspection in March 2019 resulted in a passing grade.

Three Department of Buildings violations were recorded in 2019-2020, but all were dismissed by December 2022 based on subsequent reports showing the defects had been corrected. The building's permit history shows an issued permit for exterior work in October 2018, which aligns with standard post-construction maintenance practices. Regular bedbug and rodent inspections have consistently shown no infestations or issues, indicating effective ongoing pest control protocols.
