609 Metropolitan Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10301

609 Metropolitan Avenue is a two-family residential building located in West Brighton, built in 1932 and containing 4 units under the ownership of Matthew Nichol. The building's records reveal a concerning incident in October 2018 when residents reported a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building, which was classified as an emergency situation by the Housing Maintenance Code.

However, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development was unable to gain access to inspect the reported conditions, leading to the closure of this complaint without resolution. On a more positive note, the building has demonstrated consistent maintenance in recent years, as evidenced by the annual bedbug reporting system from 2019 through 2024, which shows zero instances of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation in any of the dwelling units.

This indicates effective pest management protocols have been maintained over the past five years. With no recent complaints recorded since the 2018 heat issue, and the building's age showing only this solitary service request, it appears that the property has been stable in terms of major maintenance issues since that incident, though the initial heat problem raises historical concerns about the building's heating system reliability.
