878 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

878 Metropolitan Avenue, a 4-story, 7-unit residential building constructed in 2015 and owned by Anthony Gurino, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past five years, though recent improvements suggest better management practices. Most notably, in July 2024, the building experienced multiple concerning issues including mold, flooring problems, and wall maintenance needs, all of which were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) but were found to have no violations issued, and subsequently closed. In April 2022, there was also a pest-related complaint that required inspection and verification of corrections.

The building had one notable violation in March 2022 regarding an annual bedbug report filing requirement, though this appears to have been resolved as all subsequent bedbug reports from 2019 through the current 2025 filing show zero infested or eradicated units. The property's maintenance record shows regular attention to pest control, with consistent bedbug reporting compliance since 2019, always indicating no infestations. Recent rodent inspections conducted in January 2023 and September 2024 both passed, indicating no significant rodent issues.

While the building had some maintenance challenges in 2024, the quick resolution of these issues and the absence of violations suggests responsive management. The building's compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and passing rodent inspections demonstrates attention to critical health and safety concerns. The most recent HPD inspections in 2024, despite identifying issues that required attention, did not result in formal violations, suggesting that while there are maintenance needs, the property is being appropriately managed in response to tenant concerns.
