955 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

955 Metropolitan Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit Old Law tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Joel Fekete. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues between 2022-2023, with multiple emergency complaints reported for the entire building, though inspections often found heat restored or no violations.

More recently, in 2024, the property faced several maintenance concerns, including mold, ceiling issues, plumbing problems, and concerns about janitorial service and garbage storage, though inspections generally found no violations, except for one instance of garbage storage violations. The building has a history of safety-related violations in 2022, particularly affecting apartment 4L, including issues with self-closing doors and missing smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, though these were subsequently addressed. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in September 2024 passing, though there were documented rat activity incidents in 2018, 2020, and 2023.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with all recent reports showing zero infested units between 2019 and 2024. Recent housing maintenance code violations from August 2024 included issues with door self-closing mechanisms and accumulation of refuse in the building front, though these were subsequently certified as corrected. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to basic services and safety compliance, with most recent complaints being addressed through inspections, though not always resulting in violations being issued.
