416 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The 8-story, 123-unit residential building at 416 Metropolitan Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by David Cohen, was completed in 2022 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues in its relatively short history. Most notably, in August 2024, the building faced widespread heat and hot water system failures affecting multiple units, with some violations issued during inspections, though these were ultimately resolved.

The building has also had recurring concerns about water supply issues, with multiple complaints logged in mid-2024. More recently, in March 2025, there was a ventilation-related indoor air quality complaint that generated official notice to the property management, though inspections in May 2025 found no violations.

The building has undergone required tenant safety inspections in 2024, all of which were completed without issuing violations, and previous concerns about advertising signage and work without permits were also investigated and cleared in 2024 and 2022 respectively. Notably, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bed bug infestations, with the most recent annual reports for 2023-2024 and 2022-2023 showing zero infested units and no need for eradication efforts. While the building's maintenance history shows some significant infrastructure challenges, particularly regarding heating and water systems, these issues appear to have been generally addressed when they arise, with most complaints being resolved through inspections or corrections.
