752 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The three-story, six-unit building at 752 Metropolitan Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by Diana Meneses and constructed in 1920, has experienced several notable health and safety issues over the past five years. Most recently, in 2023-2024, there were multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) complaints related to food establishment violations, including cases involving food temperature compliance, foreign objects in food, unsanitary food handling practices, and rodent/insect/garbage concerns.

The building's housing maintenance record shows a bedbug reporting requirement in April 2024, though there have been no reported infestations in any of the five consecutive annual bedbug filings from 2019 to 2024. The property has faced significant rodent control challenges, particularly evident between February and May 2022, when multiple bait applications were required following documented rat activity.

The building's history shows a pattern of rodent-related issues, with compliance inspections in July 2018 and February 2022 noting rat activity, though a subsequent inspection in August 2018 passed without concerns. While the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status since the requirement was implemented, the recent spate of food establishment complaints and recurring rodent control measures suggest ongoing maintenance and sanitation challenges. UWhile some issues have been addressed through administrative closure of service requests, the frequency and variety of complaints indicate a building that requires careful attention to health and safety matters.
