Augrented Insights Report for 692 Metropolitan Avenue

The 35-unit, four-story building at 692 Metropolitan Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Eitan Hochster and constructed in 1930, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concern over multiple recent water-related problems. Most notably, the building has ongoing challenges with access for inspections, as evidenced by three separate complaints in May 2025 regarding water leaks and door issues where inspectors were unable to gain access for proper evaluation. The property has also faced significant safety and compliance issues, including four Class C violations from a December 2024 inspection related to defective self-closing doors in public areas, including fire doors on the fourth floor and building entrance doors.

Additionally, there are several active Environmental Control Board violations from 2024 related to construction work and maintenance requirements, including issues with e-bikes in public areas and deficiencies with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Recent inspections reveal a mixture of rat activity and compliance results, with the most recent inspection in July 2024 showing compliance status. The building's maintenance history includes multiple heating/hot water complaints in early 2025, primarily related to apartment-specific issues that were later linked to building-wide problems.

There are also ongoing concerns regarding the building's elevator system, with two separate violations in 2023-2024 related to single device operation and safety features. The property is currently facing multiple active violations regarding failure to file required benchmarking reports and pressure inspections, suggesting potential administrative oversight issues. The building has undergone various construction and maintenance work, with several violations related to inadequate tenant protection plans and safety measures during ongoing work, particularly evident from construction-related violations dating from 2021-2024 involving multiple contractors.
