574 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The three-story, two-unit building at 574 Metropolitan Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Eden Chuang, has a mixed record of compliance and maintenance issues since 2017. Most notably, between 2020 and 2021, there were multiple complaints regarding illegal hotel rooms in the building, with four separate complaints filed between July and October 2020, though inspectors were unable to gain access in all but one instance.

An active Environmental Control Board violation from September 2020 remains noteworthy, concerning improper installation of air conditioning units on the second and third floors, which resulted in a penalty of $312. While the building has consistently filed its bedbug reports annually since 2021, recent filings through December 2024 show no recorded infestations (0 infested units), and this pattern has continued through multiple reporting periods, suggesting effective pest management practices. The building has experienced some regulatory challenges, with three Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded between 2021 and 2023 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations were subsequently closed.

A significant violation related to failing to certify correction of an immediately hazardous ECB violation was issued in January 2021 but was dismissed in March 2022 when it was downgraded to a Class 2 or 3 violation. In 2017, rodent inspections showed rat activity in November, though a follow-up compliance inspection in December resulted in a passing grade. The most recent permit on record, issued in August 2018, was for plumbing work under job number 321236211.
