772 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The 2-story, 3-unit residential building at 772 Metropolitan Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by the Rufrano Family Trust, has a notable history of compliance issues with the Housing Maintenance Code (HMC). Beginning in 2021 and continuing through April 2024, there have been recurring violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations, with the most recent violation remaining open as of April 2024.

However, according to the bedbug reporting for the period of November 2021 to October 2022, the building had no infested units, no units requiring eradication, and no re-infested units, suggesting the building has maintained good pest control since then. More recently, in the summer of 2025, there have been multiple active complaints regarding construction activities near the property, including concerns about debris, inadequate fencing, and construction beyond approved plans.

Several construction-related issues were investigated in May 2025, including concerns about worker safety, building stability, and unauthorized work, though most were either dismissed or resolved. The property has a rodent inspection record from July 2018 showing a passed inspection, indicating effective pest management prior to the bedbug reporting requirements. Despite the ongoing bedbug report compliance violation, the building's recent maintenance history shows no documented bedbug infestations, though the open violation suggests potential oversight in regulatory compliance.
