Augrented Insights Report for 623 Metropolitan Avenue

The 22-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement at 623 Metropolitan Avenue in Williamsburg, built in 1920 and owned by Herman Rubin, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant problems occurring in 2024-2025. These include multiple water leak complaints (both heavy flow and slow leaks), particularly during late 2024 through mid-2025, and recurring heat/hot water issues in December 2024. The building has faced persistent pest control challenges, with violations for both mouse and roach infestations documented in 2024 in Apartment 14 and 2023 in Apartment 9.

There are also open housing maintenance code violations from 2023 in Apartment 9 regarding various maintenance issues, including a broken radiator, missing escutcheon plate, defective bathroom tiles, and inoperable smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Safety concerns were raised in 2023 regarding the fire escape system. The building's history includes several other maintenance and compliance issues, such as an unsanitary pigeon condition documented in October 2023, and plumbing-related complaints.

Between 2018 and 2022, there were violations related to the building's exterior walls, floor tiles, and unauthorized plumbing work. While the property has maintained active pest control measures as indicated by the rodent inspections, with bait applications and compliance passes in 2022 and 2024, the recent pattern of water-related issues and heating problems suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges. However, it's worth noting that there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past several years, according to the building's official bedbug reporting documentation from 2020 to 2024.
