671 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The two-family house at 671 Metropolitan Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Vanessa Ciprianni, is a 2-story building constructed in 1899. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably water-related problems in 2023-2024, with two separate complaints (one regarding a slow leak and another about a damp spot) filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.

Recent health concerns include an indoor air quality complaint from May 2024 that prompted a DOHMH advisory to the property management. The building has a history of rodent-related issues, particularly in 2019, with multiple complaints reported that year, though inspections in June 2019 resulted in passed inspections, and bait was applied in September 2013. Most recently, as of June 2025, there is an active complaint regarding an illegal conversion of the property, though no inspection or disposition information is currently available.

This complaint marks the only open violation in the building's recent history. While the property has demonstrated some responsiveness to pest control measures in the past, evidenced by inspections and bait application, the recurring nature of water-related issues and the recent air quality concern suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building appears to have passed all official inspections regarding rodent activity in 2019, despite the multiple complaints leading up to those inspections.
