390 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The 6-unit, 4-story tenement building at 390 Metropolitan Avenue, owned by Manjula Mukhopadhyay, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since 2018, with the most concerning recent problems occurring in early 2025. Most notably, there were multiple rodent-related complaints in 2023-2024, with inspections consistently indicating rat activity. Between February and April 2025, several emergency complaints were filed regarding a fire escape safety issue and window frame problems, along with multiple pest-related violations that required owner remediation.

The building has also faced significant water and sanitation challenges, including heavy water flow issues in 2024 and mold problems in mid-2024. Historical records show a pattern of sanitation and maintenance concerns, including sewage and garbage storage violations in 2021, and multiple rodent-related complaints between 2018 and 2025. The building has undergone various inspections and received multiple violations, though many recent complaints have been closed without violations being found at the time of inspection.

The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status in official reporting, with no infested units reported in the past four years. The Department of Buildings conducted inspections in 2025 related to gas hook-up/piping and potential illegal conversion concerns, but no violations were warranted at the time of inspection. While some housing maintenance code violations from 2019-2021 were documented, including issues with garbage receptacles and a lack of proper gas leak notice, the majority of recent complaints have been addressed through inspections, though not always with violations being issued.
