Augrented Insights Report for 149 Franklin Street

The 6-story, 7-unit building at 149 Franklin Street in Tribeca, owned by David Schwab, was constructed in 1889 and has experienced several significant events in recent years. Most concerning is the active DOB violation from June 2023 regarding failure to file the 2018 external low pressure inspection, and a 2019 elevator-related violation for not correcting defects from the 2017 inspection/test.

The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections between 2010-2018, and though there were three bedbug report violations from 2018-2020, recent filings (2021-2024) show zero infestation cases. A notable environmental violation from October 2020 involved unauthorized recreational modifications to the roof area, including an outdoor cooking setup and pergola, though this was listed as resolved. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with documented complaints in 2019 and 2018 affecting multiple units, though the 2019 incident was resolved according to HPD.

Other maintenance concerns include a locked heating system access violation in 2018 and multiple construction-related complaints in 2020, including one for defective plumbing that required multiple access attempts. While recent bedbug reports show no current infestations, the building's history suggests periodic pest management attention has been required. The property has undergone several permitted alterations as evidenced by multiple permit issuances in 2018, though detailed records of these modifications are not specified in the available data.
