Augrented Insights Report for 119-37 Metropolitan Avenue

119-37 Metropolitan Avenue is a 96-unit, 6-story residential building constructed in 1925 in Kew Gardens, currently owned by Leonard Zangas. The building has recently experienced significant and recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, with ten documented complaints between March 7 and April 11, 2025, all involving complete building outages that required HPD intervention.

These complaints have been consistently addressed, with inspectors confirming restoration of services, though the frequency suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building has one active ECB violation from January 2023 regarding deteriorating window lintels across all floors, for which a $2,500 penalty was imposed.

Historical maintenance records show various internal issues, including mold problems in 2022, multiple defects in apartment 3Q between 2019-2021 (including a key-operated lock on the fire escape window and issues with plaster, hot water, and doors), and infrastructure compliance inspections throughout 2023 that resulted in no violations. Notably, there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years (2019-2024), suggesting effective pest management, and the building passed rodent inspections in 2019 and 2022. The structure has undergone regular compliance inspections under Local Law 188, with the most recent inspections in 2023 showing no violations, though there are two active DOB violations from October 2023 that require attention.
