Questions about this building

Does 251 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn have open violations?

Yes. 251 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn had 47 open violations on September 26, 2026: 47 from HPD. 18 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous.

Is 251 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 18 open Class C, with nothing filed or new in the last 180 days. That window ends September 26, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 251 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn?

Since September 28, 2023, a certification was filed on 1 Class C violation, after the original certify-by date. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 251 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn marked completed?

Yes. 4 completed HPD emergency repair orders since September 28, 2023, awarded for $4,955 in total. The most recent of the 4, a general construction order, was opened June 22, 2026. HPD orders an emergency repair when a hazardous condition cited in a violation, or in another agency's emergency order, is not corrected, and does the work itself or through a contractor. The amounts are what the orders were awarded for, not a bill: this page does not show what was charged to the property or whether it was paid. Orders for lab tests, such as dust-wipe and asbestos samples, are not counted.

Does 251 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn have a certificate of occupancy?

Its latest certificate of occupancy is a final one, issued September 7, 2021. A certificate of occupancy says how a building may be used and occupied. A temporary one lets people move in while work finishes and has to be renewed until DOB issues the final one. DOB's records here start in July 2012, so an older certificate may not show.

Is 251 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn rent stabilized?

The building has rent-stabilized apartments on its 2024 registration. That comes from the Rent Guidelines Board's list of buildings with at least one stabilized apartment registered that year. Buildings that registered late are left off, and a 421-a or J-51 building can leave stabilization when its tax benefit ends. A particular apartment's status is for NYS HCR to say.

When was 251 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn built?

The city's record gives 1910 as the year 251 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a walk-up apartment building with 4 floors.

How many apartments does 251 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 21 residential units at 251 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB certificates of occupancy, HPD emergency repair orders and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through September 26, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB certificates of occupancy, HPD emergency repair orders and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
