A Williamsburg rental where building filings remain thin while commercial noise and kitchen venting shape the surrounding block.
Family ownership transferred this 20-unit Williamsburg building to 224 Metropolitan Ave LLC in December 2014, with Michael Gut remaining listed as head officer. The building itself shows few operational filings, but surrounding commercial activity generates steady noise and odor signals on the block. Three things to know:
Commercial music and street noise concentrate directly around the block. Within three blocks, 297 commercial noise calls—mostly for loud music and parties—and 218 street-noise complaints were logged over the last 12 months. Late-night venue traffic is a primary factor for street-facing apartments.
Nearby commercial kitchens push odor and air quality complaints into the immediate area. There were 24 food establishment complaints logged within three blocks over the last year, running through August 22, 2026. Kitchen exhaust and venting from nearby food spots can carry odors directly into air shafts and open windows.
Commercial loading and sign violations keep curb space congested. The three blocks around the building saw 425 illegal parking calls in the last 12 months, led by 290 posted sign violations along with blocked hydrants and crosswalks. Short-errand delivery traffic keeps the curb active.
