Augrented Insights Report for 985 Metropolitan Avenue

The three-story, four-unit tenement building at 985 Metropolitan Avenue in East Williamsburg, owned by Mark Guindi, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, particularly concerning heat and hot water. The most recent incident occurred in October 2024, when tenants reported a building-wide heat and hot water outage that HPD could not verify due to access issues. Similar heat-related complaints were recorded in March 2023 and August 2024, with the March incident being resolved during the inspection.

The building has also faced plumbing issues, with an emergency water supply complaint in August 2024 that was inspected with no violations found. The property has maintained a regular bedbug reporting schedule from 2019 to 2024, showing no reported infestations during the documented periods. However, there is an open violation from August 2024 concerning a defective fire escape drop ladder that requires adjustment. The building has experienced repeated complaints regarding unauthorized work in occupied spaces, with complaints filed in 2023 and 2025, though inspectors were frequently unable to gain access.

Recent inspections in 2024 revealed rat activity, following similar findings in 2020, while a compliance inspection in 2021 passed. The building's maintenance history shows attention to regulatory requirements, including annual bedbug reporting, with periods showing zero infestation. However, the recurring nature of heat and hot water issues, along with plumbing concerns and rodent activity, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has generally responded appropriately to most complaints, though access issues during inspections have been a recurring theme, particularly in 2023 and 2025.
