Augrented Insights Report for 31 Metropolitan Avenue

The 15-unit, 5-story residential building at 31 Metropolitan Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Meyer Chetrit, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since its construction in 2017. Most recently, there are active concerns regarding heat and hot water availability, with an open complaint filed in May 2025 and multiple heat-related complaints throughout 2025. The building is currently facing several open housing maintenance code violations from a November 2024 inspection, including inadequate hot water supply in apartments 2B and 4B, pest infestations (notably in apartment 2B), and issues with self-closing doors.

The elevator system has been a persistent concern, with multiple complaints between 2022 and 2024 regarding single device operation and lack of alternate service, culminating in a significant violation in October 2024 for various elevator infractions, resulting in a $1,250 penalty. During 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions, including pest issues and water leaks, though some of these complaints were ultimately closed due to lack of access for inspection. The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of heat/hot water issues, with three separate emergency complaints related to this problem in January 2025 alone.

The property has maintained a bedbug-free status since 2019, as evidenced by consistent reporting indicating zero infested units. The construction period in 2018-2019 was marked by several safety violations, including issues with crane operation and site safety, though these were resolved and dismissed by 2020. While the building has received various permits for maintenance and construction work, the ongoing nature of heat, elevator, and pest-related complaints suggests persistent infrastructure and maintenance challenges that require attention.
