262 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

262 Metropolitan Avenue is a 5-story, 23-unit residential building in Williamsburg, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by 268 Metropolitan Ave LLC. The building has experienced recurring issues with energy efficiency compliance, with multiple active violations dating from 2021-2022 regarding failure to display required energy efficiency scores and grades, as well as failure to file necessary benchmarking reports under NYC Administrative Code § 28-309. These violations have persisted without resolution for extended periods, making them a significant ongoing concern.

The building has had several Department of Buildings complaints and violations between 2018-2022, though most were resolved without finding violations during inspections. These include a 2022 complaint about construction work access, and earlier concerns about inadequate scaffolding and safety net issues in 2019 and 2018 respectively, all of which were found not to warrant violations at the time of inspection. Regarding pest management, the building has maintained a successful record with no reported bedbug infestations in the past four years (2021-2024), as evidenced by consistent annual reporting showing zero infested or eradicated units.

A rodent inspection conducted in March 2019 resulted in a passing grade. The most recent annual bedbug report filed in December 2024 confirmed the absence of any infestations during the 2023-2024 period, suggesting effective pest management practices. It's worth noting that while there are multiple active energy-related violations, the building has demonstrated compliance with other regulatory requirements, particularly in maintaining a pest-free environment.
