67 Franklin Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

The 7-story, 13-unit building at 67 Franklin Street in Tribeca, built in 1915, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, most notably in 2023 when multiple complaints about building systems were filed, including elevator maintenance problems, electrical lighting issues, and plumbing water supply concerns. While these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and no violations were ultimately issued, the frequency of such issues suggests ongoing building system challenges.

The property has also shown persistent rodent activity, with nine documented rodent-related complaints between 2021 and 2023, and the most recent inspections in 2023 showing rat activity that required bait application. The building's history includes multiple health and safety compliance requirements that were addressed in 2019, including the posting of smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and building registration information, for which violations were issued but subsequently resolved. A concentration of elevation, lighting, and water supply issues in early 2023 prompted three separate service requests, though all were closed without violations.

The building has maintained an active bedbug management program, with no reported infestations in the past five years according to the bedbug reporting system. Recent building management has shown responsiveness to violations, as evidenced by prompt resolution of inspection citations and regular filing of required documentation, including annual bedbug reports and FISP (Facade Inspection Safety Program) requirements. Though there were several construction-related violations recorded in 2018-2021 regarding scaffold safety and design plans, these were resolved and there have been no similar issues reported in recent years.
